This is what I did. I gone into this folder : /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/ and I have renamed the file "initrd.gz" into "initrd_.gz" and I've burnt a new ISO image. I have soon realized that that file has been regenerated. The initrd_.gz file disappeared and a new initrd.gz file appeared when,in CUBIC,I have chosen which kernel bootstrap,as you can see here :
https://ibb.co/Xy0nKtL ; So. I suppose that the file that I should alter is called "initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64" because I have chosen that kernel version on the Cubic tab. And this is what I tried to do,but it didn't work. This is the commands that I have issued :
cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot
gunzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz : has been produced a cpio file called : initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64
mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_
cpio -idv < initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_ : it has been unpacked and then I've copied the files inside a folder called initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64
cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/
cp /usr/share/plymouth/debian-logo.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/
cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/debian.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld
cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/logo.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld
mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64-
cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64-
find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > ../initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 : generated the cpio file called initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64
cd ..
gzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 : generated the gzip file called "initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64"
cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/
mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_
cp /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/
size of the new (initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64) file is 178.4 MiB (187,099,720 byte),of the old one is : 78.8 MiB (82,661,551 byte) ; so probably there is something not good if the sizes are so different ?
Anyway,I've burned a new ISO image with cubic and I've tried to boot it,but I've got the following error : https://ibb.co/GCBFcpK

Further to this: if you are dealing with Debian-live images as your base,
use Debian tools. If you're dealing with Ubuntu images use Ubuntu-based
PPAs. In general, they really don't mix - to the extent that there's
a whole section on the Debian wiki to this effect.
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
The number of people working on Debian-live images at any one time is
small: if you can't raise anyone, then I might also suggest having
a chat with Roland Clobus who is working on making live images
work reproducibly with the Reproducible build project.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive
I see you're already contributing on the debian-live mailing list
so should find the appropriate people there. highvoltage, of course,
is also the Debian Project leader so is very busy with everything
else and not necessarily debian-live build problems.
