Using Debian sid/unstable with tiny-initramfs 0.1-5, on an old Acer TravelMate 5735Z/BA51_MV, BIOS V1.14 07/26/2011, with Intel Pentium T4500 and an F2FS root partition, F2FS fails to load as no crc32 routines can be loaded. The problem is, that the module crc32-generic is not added to the initrd, but only the optimized version using PCLMUL instruction, not present on the old processor.

To work around it, add crc32-generic to the module list in /etc/tiny-initramfs/tiny-initramfs.conf.
