Description

Tried the 2024-09-08, 2024-09-20 and 2024-10-01 images, on LCDeck and two PCs with AMD GPUs, all get stuck on the throbber, pressing Esc reveals following messages:
>/init: line 7: memdiskfind: not found
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/CHIMERAOS_202409' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ~]#

and
>/init: line 7: memdiskfind: not found
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/CHIMERAOS_202410' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished

Technically, it's a minor issue, or not even an issue at all, since the media does boot if restored to a USB drive directly, but using Ventoy is just more convenient.
The 2024-05-10 and older images boot from Ventoy just fine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the 2024-09-08, 2024-09-20, or 2024-10-01 image through Ventoy and inspect the `/init` output, especially the missing `memdiskfind` message and device-label timeout. Compare against the 2024-05-10 image that boots successfully; done means a newer image boots from Ventoy without falling back to the interactive prompt.
