    My u-boot is best, from johang, second to none.
    Bookworm fine, I am writing this in a live build sysvinit I created.
    Trixie RC1 released today.
    Booted, expert install, doesn't get very far;
    EFI stub:
    Booting Linux Kernel...
    Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
    Using DTB from configuration table
    Exiting boot services..

    AT YOUR SERVICE, Andy.
    P.s., tried USB 2, & 3
