Version: 6.7.9-2
Severity: normal

Hello maintainers of the Linux kernel,

Since the upgrade from 6.6.15-2 to 6.7.9-2 in sid, I've noticed in openQA [1] that in grub the boot option intended for safe booting does not result in a bootable VM any more. I've reduced the kernel boot options and 'nolapic' is the single kernel boot parameter that stops the VM from booting properly.
This can be seen only in UEFI boots, not when booting from BIOS.

I've looked at the code directly related, but did not see anything obvious [2][3].

FYI: The option 'nolapic' has been in use for the 'safe boot option' since 2012 in the live images.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
