Maybe something related to the initrd_release file inserted into /etc/live_initrd with snapshot:
Code: Select all
NAME="MX"
VERSION="23.2_ahs (Libretto)
ID="mx"
VERSION_ID="23.2_"
PRETTY_NAME="MX 23.2_ahs (Libretto)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
HOME_URL="https://mxlinux.org"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://mxlinux.org"
BASE=MX
where the missing ["] double-quotes in the 2nd line
VERSION="23.2_ahs (Libretto)
breaks the live init.
The above is from the iso posted.

So for anybody does have the kernal panic issue:
Do check and fix the VERSION line in /etc/initrd_relase
and add missing double-quotes to the VERSION-line
before making the snapshot.
looks something like this, here for the MX-23.2 ahs installation:

Flashed my snapshot to another thumb drive with MX Live USB Maker and booted fine.
I do have two kernels on this system. linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 and linux-image-6.7.1-1-liquorix-amd64.
I see Ventoy has an update (1.0.97) and will upgrade to see if it fixes MY issue.

ah very good
@fehlix
my working snapshots have a single quote.
the non-working ones have a weird double quote instead of a missing one in the VERSION line.
Code: Select all

VERSION="23.2_KDE (Libretto)""

same for the /etc/initrd_release file in the main file system.

That may be the culprit cause till now (including the other thread by shmu26) all complaints were with KDE and AHS .

not that I'm one to not make a typo (
), but I don't think this time.
its in the generation of the file during the snapshot somewhere I think. the /etc/initrd_release on the system being snapshotted is correct.

Can't reproduce. It's here always a copy of /etc/inird_release within the live initrd.
That's, what snapshot is doing, just a copy.
