Package: mount
Version: 2.41-5devuan1
Excalibur live isos made with linux-libre i386 kernels (several 6.12 and
one 6.14) fail to boot and drop to initramfs prompt. Error messages say
that filesystem.squashfs can't be mounted.
Downgrading mount, fdisk, libfdisk1 and uuid-runtime to version
2.38.1-5+deb12u3devuan1 corrects the problem.
Screenshot of the error message in /boot.log is here:

short version:
"mount filesystem.squashfs: fsconfig() failed: unable to read
squashfs_super_block"
