Since you have your rootfs as a case-insensitive filesystem, either the utf8data module needs to be available in the initramfs or unicode needs to be built-in. Are you building your own kernel? Can you confirm that utf8data.ko exists in your initramfs, and regenerate it if missing? Alternatively, make sure that you have CONFIG_UNICODE=y in your kernel configuration file. If that doesn't work, can you provide the kernel log? If you can't collect the console output, a photo of the screen displaying the error will suffice. Thank you! -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
