Thanks for the report. This should be fixed upstream 6.1.53 and
pending now for the next upload for bookworm.


Hi Salvatore, thanks a lot for the fast reply!
So do you think that the bug I reported with XFS is the same as the fix being 
implemented upstream? Will the next upload for Bookworm come soon?

Bug#1051547: Regression: live-build 20230502 generates corrupted images when using bookworm-backports APT pinning for kernel

[sb56637]

Package: live-build
Version: 20230502

Hi there,

I have used live-build 20210407 on Debian 11 to successfully build a large 
number of Debian 11 based images. Now I'm using the same config and process 
with live-build 20230502 on Debian 12 to build Debian 12 based images. There 
appears to be a major regression with live-build 20230502 on Debian 12 when 
using this APT pinning:

### config/includes.chroot/etc/apt/preferences.d/99backports ###

Package: linux-image-*
Pin: release a=stable-backports
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: linux-headers-*
Pin: release a=stable-backports
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: firmware-*
Pin: release a=stable-backports
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: nvidia-driver
Pin: release a=stable-backports
Pin-Priority: 600



With that APT pinning, live-build 20210407 on Debian 11 generates a Debian 12 
ISO with the latest Debian Stable kernel (6.1.0) as well as the latest Debian 
Backports kernel (6.4.0) that successfully boots and works as expected. Here's 
a screenshot:

Here's the full live-build config I'm using:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/spirallinux/files/dev/SpiralLinux-Cinnamon.tar.gz/download

However, with the exact same config but using live-build 20230502 on Debian 12, 
it generates an ISO that shows both the 6.1.0 and the 6.4.0 kernels in the live 
system GRUB boot menu (on an EFI system), but when selecting the 6.4.0 kernel 
it boots into X11 and then completely freezes. I've confirmed this same 
behavior with VirtualBox, Qemu, and real hardware. When booting into runlevel 3 
it bizarrely says I'm running the 6.4.0 kernel and yet the 6.4.0 kernel doesn't 
appear in /boot. Here's a screenshot:

Just to confirm that it's not an issue with my config, I also built an image 
with https://github.com/nodiscc/debian-live-config but added the above 
mentioned APT pinning, and the exact same thing happened.

Here's the build log with live-build 20210407 on Debian 11 and the resulting 
ISO:

- 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/spirallinux/files/dev/SpiralLinux-test-working.iso/download
And here's the build log with live-build 20230502 on Debian 12 and the 
resulting ISO:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/spirallinux/files/dev/SpiralLinux-built-Debian12.log/download
-

Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks!
