[No]: This bug persists when memory is increased beyond 8GB.

Describe the bug
Debian 13 shows up as the latest on i386 Debian Linux despite releasing without kernel and installer for it and Debian 12 is the last for i386.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Linux Network Installs'
Then go to 'Debian'
It's optional but click on 'Debian 13' or 'Debian 12'
When done,you can see Debian 13 is the latest when Debian 12 is actually the last one with i386 support

Expected behavior

Debian 13 should not appear in the Debian section for i386 as the latest. Debian 12 should be the only listed. Unsure about sid or experimental...

✅ Fixed Debian i386 Architecture Support Issue

I've successfully implemented a fix for the issue where Debian 13 incorrectly appears for i386 architecture when Debian 12 should be the last supported version.

Todo List:

Read repository setup instructions (CLAUDE.md)
Understand codebase structure and locate Debian configuration
Find where architecture filtering is implemented
Implement fix to exclude Debian 13 for i386
Test the changes if possible
Commit and push changes
Provide PR link

Analysis:

Found the issue! The Debian configuration is in /roles/netbootxyz/defaults/main.yml at lines 204-221. The template /roles/netbootxyz/templates/menu/debian.ipxe.j2 shows all stable and testing versions without filtering by architecture support.

Solution Implemented:

Modified /roles/netbootxyz/defaults/main.yml: Added unsupported_arches: ["i386"] to:
- Debian 13 (trixie) - stable release
- Debian forky (testing)
- Debian sid (unstable)
Modified /roles/netbootxyz/templates/menu/debian.ipxe.j2: Added iPXE conditional logic:
- Uses iseq ${os_arch} i386 || to skip menu items for i386-unsupported versions
- Preserves existing behavior for all other architectures
- Maintains full compatibility for supported versions

Now when users boot with i386 architecture, they will only see Debian 12 (bookworm) in the menu, which is the correct behavior.

Result:

Before fix: i386 users saw both Debian 12 and Debian 13 options
After fix: i386 users only see Debian 12 (bookworm), other architectures see all versions
