What happened?

I have made a Tails.VDI file with Persistent Storage (Tails, not Ventoy version) is configured in the file. I have booted this VDI file perfectly with virt-manager VM many times so the VDI boots up fine. I added the VTOY extension for vDisk. I ran the script 'sudo sh vtoyboot.sh' in KVM/Virt-Manager and got:

I: update-initramfs is disabled (live system is running without media mounted on /run/live/medium). grub mkconfig.... PROBE_PATH=/usr/sbin/grub-probe MKCONFIG_PATH=/usr/sbin/grub=mkconfig /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig null vtoyboot process successfully finished.

Mounts: /dev/sda1 /lib/live/mount/medium /dev/loop0 /lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs

I have a number of ISOs on Ventoy that boot ok, but the VDI itself boots to the Grub menu where I can see the VFAT filesystem and go into the EFI/Boot/debian folders, but when I try to boot it it goes to the splash screen and tries to find the filesystem until it times out.

"(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"

I have shared the link to my VDI file for testing purposes.

If I get this working I can share the method I made Tails work with Persistent Storage for others to follow.
