Comments/Problems:
Same in regular Install, Graphical Install, and Expert Install. System
hangs shortly after selecting 'ethdetect': the text console cursor
stops blinking, the display seems frozen, the fan spins up. It seems
either sis190 or cfg80211, or something that should happen next causes
the problem. Attached is the text output from the console.
.
Kali 2025.4 live system and installer fail similarly, though live
system in fail-safe mode works quite well.
.
Debian live with GNOME does not finish booting even in fail-safe mode,
again it hangs soon after loading X.509 certs and setting up some
audio/video stuff. "registered new interface driver uvcvideo" and
"Finished modprobe@efi_pstore.service - Load Kernel Module efi_pstore."
tend to be the last messages printed.
