That .png showed that you are tryin got boot 13_2_RELEASE_AARCH64_CD,
which has its 13.2 EoL on: June 30, 2024

You may want to try 13.3 or some other Release that has significantly
more time before its EoL (no support). (But you already tried a main
[15] build below.)

This is not a boot of the same release, in fact it is a
boot of main [15] from early June, instead of a release.

That shows a main [15] build from early June, not 13.2 .

You may want to try 13.3 and/or 14.1 and/or 14.0 and/or
a stable/13 and/or a stable/14 .

The results may continue to vary and, may be, one or more
might work?
