 I have been trying to build and boot the last version available on linux-next.
 During the build I am being prompted with "has no CRC!" warnings for a bunch
 of modules.

 Has a result I get the following lines in the Module.symvers:

 If I ignore these and go on to boot the resulting kernel. I am left with:

 ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=<omitted>'

 I am then dropped to a recovery shell where the keyboard is not answering.

 The UUID is valid and is the same being used when I boot the HEAD of the linux
 tree. In fact, I am sending this message from the same machine, running
 that very kernel.
 Prior to failing to find the root device, the kernel prints a series of
 messages for each of the above symbol:

 scsi_mod: no symbol version for <foo>
 scsi_mod: Unknown symbol <foo> (err -22)

 Therefore, I suspect that the missing CRC messages are linked to the issue.

 I have git bisected this behavior to the patch 784d5699edd. 

 Simply reverting this patch results in different issues.
 The errors I am having due to no CRC are fixed but I receive another error at
 boot time:
 failed command: WRITE LOG DMA EXT

 I mostly asking for help as to what to do next.
 Could someone point me toward documentation that would help me understand and
 fix this issue?
