Dear all,

As you may know, it is possible to embed BRLTTY in initramfs, which is
generally helpful to catch problems happening early during system
startup. In particular this feature is the one that lets you know when
the time has come to enter the
passphrase to decrypt your encrypted hard drive.

I am under the impression that embedding BRLTTY in recent initramfs
file systems breaks them to the pont that the whole boot becomes
impossible, the kernel trying to realise an impossible mount.

I observed this when trying to update to the Linux kernel
6.18.12+deb14-amd64 so I would suggest not to try booting on this kernel
for the moment.

In addition, even if you stick to an older kernel, it may be wise to
make a copy of both your current working kernel and initramfs in /boot.

You can copy them to counterparts ending with .old and then use
update-grup to make sure Grub will know how to boot these working
artifacts.

Seb.
