Do you know what the message looks like? I Have BRLTTY in my initramfs. When I restarted yesterday, I got "something with initramfs" and at the end, a kernel panic because it couldn't start init. But this was read to me in a hurry. >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. So the fix is to just use the older kernel? I'll try that out later. Thanks Sebastian
