I have some more data points:-
1) I regenerated initrd.img-6.10.6-amd64 using
# update-initramfs -uv
and rebooted. The problem remains.
2) I reverted to kernel 6.10.4-amd64 ( with its
rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14M Aug 24 12:14 initrd.img-6.10.4-amd64)
and all was well.
Comment: I have only just noticed the large difference in the size of
initrd.img-6.10.4-amd64 (14M)
and of
initrd.img-6.10.6-amd64 (8.1M)
I assume, but have not checked, that they use the same compression,
if any.
Maybe this is a kernel regression of some sort after all?
Does this bug need to be re-assigned?
Maybe there is some kernal debug parameter that might help with
diagnosis?
