I just checked whether I can rescue the host using the Trixie mini.iso on a USB stick: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) amd64 - netboot mini.iso 20241227 I get the same kernel panic as soon as GRUB loads the kernel. If I try with the Bookworm mini.iso, the kernel boots just fine and gets me to the rescue menu. Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) amd64 - netboot mini.iso 20230607+deb12u9 However, using the Bookworm rescue mode is a PITA, because it doesn't know how to mount brtfs sub-volumes (not even with Debian's default @rootfs) so even just chroot'ing myself in using the above recipe requires a LOT of command typing inside the rescue mode's shell.
