Debian 10.1 and SystemRescue6.0.3 don't boot

[Drumy999]

I have Debian 9 and Fedora 28 on my laptop. I want update to Debian 10 and Fedora 30. I used multibootusb when I installed Debian 9 and Fedora 28 from a partition of usb, with SystemRescue 5 and Tails 2.1. I start multibootusb and uninstall the old distros and install the new distros. The four distros install fine. Fedora 30 and Tails 3.16 boot fine but Debian 10 and SystemRescue 6 don't Debian 30 was download with bittorrent from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/, the sha256sum verified SystemRescue was download from http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download/, the shad256sum verified I am using multibootusb 9.2.0 Both Debian 10 and SystemRescue 6 say "Undef symbol FAIL: init_fpu" "Failed to load COM32 file libcom32.c32". SystemRescue add "Failed to load COM32 file wichsys.c32" and Debian add "Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32" Note: I try with Multisystem too. Debian, Tails and SystemRescue works but Fedora don't. I don't know if that help

Same problem here (Debian-case above):

• ran mkfs.fat -F 32 on the stick's partition
• MultibootUSB command was:

sudo python3 multibootusb -c -t /dev/sdb1 \
 -i ../Downloads/gparted-live-1.0.0-5-amd64.iso,../Downloads/clonezilla-live-2.6.3-7-amd64.iso,../Downloads/debian-live-10.1.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso,../Downloads/ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso

Result is as described above. Reproducible in qemu "Boot USB"

Same also with Debian Live 10.2.0

Also same issue with Debian Live 10.3.0 and SystemRescueCD 6.0.7.

Same with Debian 10.4.0. I tried copying around the syslinux files(as that would have solved the error in some cases in the past) but without success. Any insights would be appreciated.

I found a workaround:

When you're stuck at boot:, hit Tab and check the possibilities you have. For me I just had to enter French, hit Enter and the boot went smoothly

Hope that helps

For the record and indexation, here is the full error message I had:

Undef symbol FAILED: init_fpu
Failed to load libcom32.c32
Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32
boot:

I asked for an update of the website as many people seem to face this issue

If you have a few seconds and want to help you may want to submit a PR adding this workaround in the FAQ

@iootaa I tried this with the net installer iso of Debian. Trying to enter the expert installation by typing "expert" will progress until:

Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
