Dear Maintainer,

your recent rt-kernel updates 179-3 on to BULLSEYE-to-BOOKWORM upgrade breaks
the boot right after bios.

#KEYPOINT initramfs-tools-core, initramfs-tools, mkinitramfs, zstd, libzstd1
are the core of the issue. VMLINUZ and INITRD.IMG are not created functional
any longer.

The systems are functional and longterm stable before these modifications.

Bookworm 0.142 and 1.54 are problem packages,
Bullseye -rt-22- and -rt-23- kernels are dysfunct now, while non-rt kernel -20-
work yet.

Thank you for your hard work, i hope this helps fix the issue.
All the best
Christian KISS

Hello,

as of Bullseye -rt-23 kernel part : 

it seems 
CONFIG_AS_VERSION=23502 
was absent in the kernel config.


this and or 5.10 dev 

fixed the rt-23 bullseye kernel boot

but not the bookworm issue with initrams.


#keypoint verify if this trigger can be the cause of dysfunct mkinitramfs initramfs-tools .
i suspect dysfunct zstd 1.54 andor 0.142 initramfstools are  the issue  


n o t  1.48 +0.140 bullseye 


greetings
