I have tested booting with various initrd/kernel/squashfs combinations.
* The mantic 6.5.0-5 kernel and modules repacked into a jammy (20230927) or lunar (20230927) initrd and squashfs result in a deployed host.
* The mantic initrd and squashfs from 20230908 with the 6.5.0-5 kernel did not deploy.
* The original 20230908 mantic maas image (with the 6.3.0-7-generic kernel) does boot.
So the 6.5.0-5 kernel works with older images, but not any of the recent mantic images.
