I see no output from the kernel.

After checking the GRUB config (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) for both bootable and
non-bootable kernels, I can confirm that the initramfs image was installed
to the right location. Its size is only 18M. The bootable kernel release's
initramfs image is 71M in size.

I find similar contents in both of them though. Here is the contents
of initrd.img-6.7.0-rc6-test (see [1]).
