What would you suggest as a Chuck> better process to handle cases like #983357? TL;DR: Maintainers do not have to work on any particular problem, but they do not get to block others' work. First step is to figure out the fix for a problem, propose the fix, and eventually get to an NMU proposal. Hi. I agree with Branden that engaging with Chuck may not be the most productive use of my time. However, I think the above question is a great one, and regardless of whether my answer is useful to Chuck, I think it might be generally useful. Fast forward to April 2023: I am a casual user (helping someone to resolve some unrelated issue with their Debian 11 installation) and I can't use the default debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso installer (sha256sum e482910626b30f9a7de9b0cc142c3d4a079fbfa96110083be1d0b473671ce08d) on Xen. I just wanted to say big thanks to Chuck Zmudzinski for documenting this on a Xen wiki[1] - I could quickly find this info using a search engine buy asking for "debian 11 install crash xen" and it saved me hours of heads scratching and troubleshooting. Also big thanks to Phillip Susi for digging deep enough to find a root cause of this problem. I can see that using Debian cloud installer allows me to get past this particular problem, but I get dropped to the initramfs prompt due to rootfs missing (Hope to figure this out). One small note, my naïve attempt to say "install nousb" as a response to the "boot: " prompt as advised by the installer Help page did not change anything. This is just a thank-you note, feel free to respond off-list if needed.

It is clear that Debian will have to change in order to face the issues it is confronted with, and I think the Vancouver proposal is a good starting point. It might need some fine-tuning, but I believe everybody is aware of that by now, so just screaming at the original proposal will not buy us anything. - Stop the Project Scud, the cabal is already enough!

Michael Banck a écrit : It is clear that Debian will have to change in order to face the issues it is confronted with, and I think the Vancouver proposal is a good starting point. It might need some fine-tuning, but I believe everybody is aware of that by now, so just screaming at the original proposal will not buy us anything. That's true that we have problems, but I am sure they do not come from the number of architectures. The proposal has no rational behind each point, so it don't explain me how it would solve the problems we have. - Stop the Project Scud, the cabal is already enough! There is no Cabal. Is it a joke?
