I've finished it. I needed some more time to confirm that the amd64 live images for Buster did not need lilo (otherwise it would have needed a backwards compatibility mode). The merge request is at: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/241 The merge request adds Bullseye and removes the need for lilo. Using upstream/master with the MR applied, will result in images of Buster that will allow the installer to run. If you want to use Bullseye, you'll need the daily installer (--parent-debian-installer-distribution daily), otherwise you'll get a warning that no kernel modules are found (because the installer is based on the current Debian Stable). With kind regards, Roland Clobus
