Hi. I installed grub-live on friend’s debian 13 and noticed that grub-live no linger works with initramfs. And it seems now this doesn’t work in Debian (I don’t see the new options in GRUB) after install grub-live and reboot (add “rootovl” option also doesn’t work now). @arraybolt3 @Patrick
replacing initramfs-tools with dracut - Development - Whonix Forum has been completed. Required for ram-wipe.
grub-live initramfs-tools support has been deprecated. I am not sure about the history. Might have broken when porting to trixie, difficult to fix, not default initial ramdisk generator and too much maintenance effort to keep making sure it remains functional.
Not planned to bring back.

Okay. Here’s the instruction on how to add dracut and grub-live to Debian 13.
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends dracut
sudo apt purge initramfs-tools
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
and then install grub-live. all works perfect. It can be added to the wiki grub-live - boot an existing Host OS or VM into Live Mode
