Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1608

The bug at this time is reproducible with PXE boot in Hyper-V, VirtualBox, HP Probook and MSI B550 Ryzen7 5800X
server docker image linuxserver/netbootxyz
webapp version 0.7.5
Menu version 2.0.86

Al flavours of live Debian 12 boot but frozen
The machine boots and download objects to boot , but when start display, the mosue and keyboard does not work
Unexpectedly SysReq keys works and can reboot the machine
Seems an issue related with Debian 12 squashfs

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Boot PXE
  2. Go to "Live CD"/Debian/"Debian Live 12 (bookworm)" and choose some flavour
  3. Wait to get the display and try to use mouse or keyboard

Expected behavior
Got a Debian 12 Live environment

Screenshots
For example "Debian Mate" boots but the keyboard and mouse does not work (PS/2 or USB)
Image
Same with Gnome flavour
Image
Same with polluted assets (Debian 11 KDE with 12 squashfs)

Image

Additional context
Live Debian 11 Xfce works
Live Debian 11 cinnamon works
Live Debian 11 Kde does not work, maybe menu misconfigurarion
Weird menu assets for debian 11 (with version 12 squashfs)

Yes I have experienced this too. Interestingly Proxmox (which is based off of Debian) does not have this issue.
