Hi Debian Kernel team, I'd like to discuss a long-term issue that was
reported in both Debian and Ubuntu. Booting a system with a bad console
may cause a boot loop condition on initram scripts, if an invalid
console output is set.

Recently there was two Debian bugs reported: [0] and [1] (the latter
reported by me, the former by Jonas). Also, I've proposed a simple fix
through the following merge request:
salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/30 .

Thanks in advance for the attention.
Cheers,


Guilherme
