For now we've only been able to reproduce this on a Renesas RZG2L board
as far as I'm aware, retitling the bug accordingly. For example, I can
boot kernels with grub 2.12 on ARM systems such as the Thinkpad X13s,
Macbook M1, and RPi 3B+.

Also the problem is grub-specific and not limited to the installer, so
I've reassigned it to the grub-efi-arm64-bin binary package.

Booting with debug enabled, this is the output of a failed attempt on
the Renesas board. The grub version used in this test was 2.12~rc1-10.

This instead is grub 2.12~rc1-11 succeeding on a RPi:

Bug#1053803: debian-installer: grub2 2.12~rc1-10 on ARM64 daily installer makes linux image load fail

Version: 20230607+deb12u2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: john.vincent...@bp.renesas.com

Dear Maintainer,

The ARM64 daily installer stopped working from 19-Sep-2023 due to grub2
2.12~rc1-10 updates with linux image load failure.

This was working ok on 04-Sep-2023 with grub 2.06-13

This is an blocking issue because the daily installers not working on ARM64.
Please help us to fix this issue.

Please note ticket https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053802 is
duplicate of this and can be closed (incorrect formatting)

Thanks.
John
