Hi Teco,

I am not a perfectionist and I am only able to answer what I know. I believe that all of below are not showstopper.  
BTW, you are welcome to send me any fix.

At the end of installation, it writes installation settings to disk to current directory.  If your current directory is 
/tmp/root, which is a squashfs mount, you can't write it because squashfs is always a read-only filesystem.

I only use upstream debian kernel source.  Right now, it only provides up-to 3.10.11.

I have this error too.  But this don't seems affect my env.

The code is to change the inittab serial console settings in initramfs stage.  The codes lies in 
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/25serial_inittab.  I didn't notice this error since serial console is 
working properly?

Not sure why pcspkr is loaded twice.

Original RTC seems to be depreciated and is replaced by RTC_LIB and this cannot be compiled as module.  BTW, the below 
rtc is loaded on ALIX:

[    2.366627] platform rtc_cmos: registered platform RTC device (no PNP device)
[    4.255481] rtc_cmos rtc_cmos: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0

Not sure why it complains.

Again, I am not perfectionist.  But welcome any patch for clean-up.

Header could be found here:
