(Please provide enough information to help the Debian
maintainers evaluate the report efficiently - e.g., by filling
in the sections below.)
My previous release is: 6.12.38
I am upgrading to: 6.12.41
Archive date:
Upgrade date: 15/08/2025 2pm
uname -a before upgrade: Linux Anik-PC 6.12.38+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.38-1 (2025-07-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux
uname -a after upgrade: Unable to check as I could not boot up
Method: First time I used the software utility to upgrade. Then I had to restore using timeshift after booting up from grub using the older kernel verson entry. I tried the upgrade again from the terminal using apt update && apt upgrade and I faced exactly the same issue again

- Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade? If
so, what were they?
None except the proprietary NVIDIA driver version 570 from NVIDIA repo which works best with WAYLAND
- Was the system pre-update a 'pure' system only containing packages
from the previous release? If not, which packages were not from that
release?
Yes
- Did any packages fail to upgrade?
No
- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?
The system stopped booting with the error that there was a timeout in trying to mount my hard drives that were set to auto mount. It seemed to try to mount from mnt/x201.mnt which is not a name that I was using for my auto mount set up through the disk utility
Further Comments/Problems:
There was also an error before that to say that DKMS service could not be started
Please attach the output of "COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l" (or "env COLUMNS ...",
depending on your shell) from before and after the upgrade so that we
know what packages were installed on your system.
