Hi,

I am able to reproduce this issue using the the latest daily Trixie
image, 'debian-13-raspi-arm64-daily.tar.xz'. I am attempting to boot it
on a Raspberry Pi Model 4B.

Steps to reproduce:

* Download the iamge from https://raspi.debian.net/, clicking the
  'Image download' link underneath 'Debian 13 "Trixie" (Stable)'.
* Unpack the image with `tar -xf debian-13-raspi-arm64-daily.tar.xz`.
* Flash the image to an SD card with `sudo dd if=./disk.raw of=/dev/sda
  bs=4M status=progress oflag=direct; sync;` (note that I'm using a USB
  SD card "reader")
* Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi
* Insert all peripherals (network, keyboard, display)
* Insert the power cable

The rainbow screen appears, and the SD card read light turns on and
stays on for a bit. The rainbow screen then continues to be displayed
indefinitely, and the SD card read LED begins blinking in a steady
pattern, 7 short blinks at a time with some space in between each group
of blinks.

According to
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#led-warning-flash-codes,
7 short flashes indicates that the kernel image could not be found. I
plugged the SD card into my normal work PC, mounted the firmware
partition (`/dev/sda15`) to `/mnt`, and then explored around. There is
a `vmlinuz-6.12.73+deb13-arm64` file present, and config.txt contains a
line that reads `kernel=vmlinuz-6.12.73+deb13-arm64`, so it seems like
the image *should* work. Furthermore, the image is using a hybrid
GPT/MBR partition table, and the first partition on the MBR
partition table is the FAT32 boot partition, so I don't really
understand *why* this isn't working yet, I just know it isn't.

I'll probably report back with more research on this soon-ish.
