Official FAQ

I have checked the official FAQ.

Ventoy Version

1.1.02

What about latest release

Yes. I have tried the latest release, but the bug still exist.

Try alternative boot mode

Yes. I have tried them, but the bug still exist.

BIOS Mode

Both

Partition Style

MBR

Disk Capacity

32GB

Disk Manufacturer

Sandisk 3.2

Image file checksum (if applicable)

Yes.

Image file download link (if applicable)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Ju16uBCcKrc0UDwaArCgHurIEa0PKva/view?usp=drive_link

What happened?

I have a custom small busybox ISO image that loads the busybox from a Ramdisk. Everything works without ventoy or with ventoy but kernel <=5.x.
If adding kernel 6.x - vtoydump does not return anything stating "ventoy runtime data not found"

Tried a compiled vtoydump but the result is the same - as sources haven't changed in the last 3 years. Same behaviour for EFI/GPT setup.

The same image booted with a kernel 5.19 (5.xx) works without a problem. This is an old issue that I posted 2 years ago on vtoydump github. There is not answer.

The image itself has a /bin/sh exec in the initrd to allow you to test vtoydump does not return information with kernel 6.8.12 (any other kernel 6.x by the way). Typing "exit" would lead to a console shell in VT2 white the main VT1 says "Shell Only"

Could you help me investigate/fix this vtoydump issue ?
