Thanks, it's not an issue with debian-cd but with the switch to the new canary image and invalid kernel option.

Adding layerfs-path=minimal.standard.live.squashfs to the kernel parameter should workaround it

The issue has also been fixed in debian-cd now which is what sets the default so the next ISO build should work again

The issue is resolved in today's ISO
