So, this is the debian-installer case onc again.  CONFIG_CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC
is enabled in the kernel config, but michael_mic.ko is not present on
the installation media. Once I side-load it, the problem goes away.

I guess I'll respind the MODULE_SOFTDEP patch to include michael_mic,
but if you have a good idea to make the error reporting more useful that
would be appreciated as well.
