Comments/Problems:
The installer booted and installed without issue. After rebooting from
the installer the machine booted up to the Grub display. It auto-booted
"Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.12.38+deb13-amd64". The machine did not
successfully boot. The only thing on the screen was the following:
ACPI: \: Can't tag data node
ACPI: \: Can't tag data node
ACPI: \: Can't tag data node
ACPI: \: Can't tag data node

I rebooted the computer and chose "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux
6.12.33+deb13-amd64" from the Grub boot menu and the computer booted up
fine.

If you don't have a network during install only "Debian GNU/Linux, with
Linux 6.12.33+deb13-amd64" will be installed and the computer boots fine.

I was able to install "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.16-rc7-amd64" from
experimental and that works.

I was unsure if this should be reported against the installer or Linux
6.12.38+deb13-amd64, but since a typical install (with network) does not
result in a default functioning system, I decided to report it here.

What happens if you choose "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux
6.12.38+deb13-amd64 (recovery mode) ?

This looks like a kernel bug in 6.12.38+deb13. The installer just
installs the latest available kernel, whatever it is.

When I choose "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.12.38+deb13-amd64
(recovery mode)" it hangs during the kernel boot at this message:

1.978505 usb 3-4: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

It doesn't get to a login prompt.
What would the appropriate action on my part be? Should I file a bug
against 6.12.38+deb13? Do you have any pointers I could use to help get
to the root cause?

So it looks like the ACPI messages were a red herring. This message may
be a red herring too, but it is worth checking if this USB device is
actually involved. You can boot with kernel 6.12.33 and try to identify
the USB device and its driver with the following commands:

lsusb -vt
dmesg|grep "usb 3-4" # as root or with sudo

No need, you can reassign this bug to linux-image-6.12.38+deb13-amd64.

I booted the 6.12.38 kernel using the kernel parameter "usbcore.nousb".
The 6.12.38 kernel did not successfully boot. I would suspect that the
USB message is not an indicator of the cause of the boot hang.

I then looked in dmesg from the 6.12.33 kernel and noticed that "xe"
would be the next thing that would show up. I booted the 6.12.38 kernel
using the kernel parameter "modprobe.blacklist=xe". The kernel booted
and I was able to login. The graphics of course were degraded.

If there is anything I can do to assist in identifying the root cause,
please let me know.

Hi Ricardo,

This sounds like it might be the same as #1109799 .
