Testing via a VM is not the same as booting native on real machine. I could list a number of LiveCD and Non-Live Images that fail to boot in VM, but boot on real machine just fine. I will repeat again same image same PC fails the LiveCD boot, but as I noted boots fine using any other splash boot option of that same image. Therefore there is a problem with the LiveCD boot option that I did note this has been an ongoing in variation with the Stretch 9.x LiveCD images. This means the issue(s) have been about for some time now, just worse with Buster 10 Testing. I know how to work about using the bugs to advantage with the 9.x LiveCD images. John L.
