    Package: linux-image-amd64
    Version: 6.12.22-1
    Severity: critical
    Justification: breaks the whole system

    Usertags: amd64

    Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation?
    VM upgrade from Debian 12 to Debian 13

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)?

    * What was the outcome of this action?

    Loading Linux 6.12.25-amd64 ...
    error: not xen image.
    Loading initial ramdisk ...
    error: you need to load the kernel first.

    Loading Linux 6.14-amd64 ...
    error: not xen image.
    Loading initial ramdisk ...
    error: you need to load the kernel first

    same with 6.12.22-1

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

    Booting into the VM

    This is a known problem in grub.
