Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 6.1.158-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: kontra@tutamail.com

Dear Maintainer,

What led up to the situation?
The system was updated from a working kernel linux-image-6.1.0-37-amd64
to linux-image-6.1.0-41-amd64 as part of a normal system upgrade.

What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
After upgrading to linux-image-6.1.0-41-amd64 the system became unstable
during early boot. Reinstalling the same kernel package did not fix the issue.
Downgrading back to linux-image-6.1.0-37-amd64 restored normal operation.

What was the outcome of this action?
With linux-image-6.1.0-41-amd64 the system fails to boot reliably and shows
early boot/initramfs related issues. With linux-image-6.1.0-37-amd64 the
system works correctly.

What outcome did you expect instead?
The system should boot normally with linux-image-6.1.0-41-amd64, as it did
with the previous kernel version.
