We had seen it try to mount /dev on /root/dev, and it fails with "invalid argument". Not sure what could be trying to do this, and why brltty could have an influence on this. > 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. Or maybe some people on the list have already upgraded and also use initrd embedding and didn't see a problem? There doesn't seem to be a new version of initramfs-tools in debian, I wonder what other tool could be involved.
