Unfortunately, given the fs was remounted ro, no logs were written.
I took the error from dmesg.

I have a machine with a plain libvirt/kvm with LVM for virtualization.
I create a couple of LVM volumes for each virtual machine.

Each virtual machine is then installed to the LVM volume, using ext4
and using the volume as a plain disc (no nested LVM, etc..)
Specifically, I use this virtual machine to develop (netfilter,
kernel). Is a Debian Wheezy system.

So, what happened was:
 * ssh to the virtual machine.
 * cd to the devel dir
 * stg pop a couple of patches.
 * git pull the latest nftables kernel tree.
 * run `make -j8 deb-pkg'
 * the build failed due to fs remounted RO.
 * reboot.

The kernel image I was running is this:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/pablo/nftables.git/ I see
now that it seem to be based upon 3.10, not 3.14 as originally I
stated.
