Impossible to start on MacBookPro 8,1

That’s with bc022ef71e, the Tails Mac I have with me, and the same USB stick (and copy of Tails) that I’ve used for all my other tests.

Behavior is a bit strange:

  • At first I had a hard time making the USB stick appear in the Mac startup disks.
  • I finally got it there, both on its own and by plugging a Tails 3.14 first and replacing it.
  • Both times I got a kernel panic right after the boot loader menu. See attachment.

The main error message in the attachment is: “Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive”.
