Debian FTP Masters <ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org> (2025-05-14): > rescue (1.102) unstable; urgency=medium > . > * Re-upload without extraneous files. I have no idea what I'm doing, but in case it's a good sign I'll mention it anyway: with a tentative netinst for amd64, I deployed a laptop, full disk, switching the / FS from the default ext4 to btrfs, and proceeding as always for the rest. Then I broke the boot by removing the initramfs. Then ran d-i in (graphical) rescue mode, picked the right partition (I had no idea which, but I could give it several tries), then executed a shell in the installed system, `update-initramfs -c -k all` which was required, and `update-grub` for peace of mind, probably not required. And the system boots again. I'm not going to try and compare that with earlier images, but that looks to be “not entirely broken”. If that confirms what people have been working on, yay. Otherwise I'll let btrfs enthusiasts do their own things and report back. [I'm not learning anything btrfs-ish today (and not asking people to teach me), I just wanted to share this installation + rescue attempts.] Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
