Hi @quic-pansing,

Can you share details which prebuild image you have used and any change made to grub menu at your side.

Thanks,

This could be related to the firmware used, since this same image works fine with other devices.

Hi @quic-pansing and @smangali-qc,

Is there any particular reason to suspect the initrd grub change for the boot failure ?

Can you try the boot with previous prebuilt image on same system and firmware (https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-systemready/tree/main/IR/prebuilt_images/v24.03_2.1.1) and let us know your observations.

Thanks,
Chetan
