Package: live-boot Severity: normal Installing live* packages into a normal Installation of Debian Stable can lead to boot problems on the host. Aptitude does not warn.
In the intend to build a Debian-Live system, I installed, besides live-build, the following packages on the host: live-boot-initramfs-tools:i386 live-boot:i386 live-config-systemd:i386 live-config:i386 live-config-doc:i386 live-image-cinnamon-desktop:i386 live-image-gnome-desktop:i386 live-image-kde-desktop:i386 live-image-lxde-desktop:i386 live-image-mate-desktop:i386 live-image-standard:i386 live-image-xfce-desktop:i386 live-images:i386 live-tools:i386 As a result, on host boot only 1 cpu core was recognized, systemd waited 90 sec for disk devices already up and running, and the firmware for the graphics card was not loaded. Deinstallation of the above packages and update-initramfs -k all -u solved it.
