https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=51609#p51609

    Try the following; in /etc/elogind/sleep.conf.d directory create the file 20-suspend.conf with the following contents

    [Sleep]
    SuspendMode=deep

    and reboot.

Can affirm that this fix worked on my virtual machine installation

Only one thing though. I had to edit the
/etc/apt/sources.list
file to comment out the first line concerning the cdrom fas I had chosen to use a network mirror. Rebooted afterwards and logged into xfce ok.

Also, this solution is MUCH APPRECIATED!

Forcefully terminating it will technically reboot, but the installed system retains a fake start-stop-daemon. Replacing it from the dpkg package would make it boot normally. 

apt-get update
apt-get download dpkg
dpkg-deb -x dpkg_*.deb /root/real
cp -vf /root/real/usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install --fix-broken

The checksums in all cases do match.

My host is Windows 11 without Hyper-V or Core Isolation enabled

Going to Alt+F4 here is the log:

Is this an online installation, or offline?
When it gets stuck on the late-install-stage2, are you able to press alt-f4 (or alt + right-arrow 3 times) and report back the last few lines of that output for debugging?

After reboot installed Cinnamon via tasksel.

My conclusion: the media as supplied by Devuan seems to be fine. If you are stuck, I would check the checksums of you download first of all. Or there is a problem with your VMWare and/or VBox installation.

had however no luck with Kubuntu 25.10; it would install but then after login, just black screen.

I am installing Devuan 6 on VMware Workstation 17.6.3 using the amd64 desktop image and am stuck on the final stage of installation where it says 'Running late-install-stage2' at the 'Finishing the installation stage' stage. Did not encounter any problems until this stage and the previous version, as well as Debian 13, installs fine.
