After some troubleshooting, turns out it was because of a hung apt process. 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

Tried the netinstall, it got stuck at selecting which kernels to install.

The checksums in all cases do match.

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

Still not working, same with VirtualBox, the live DVD does work though.

Good day all,
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.
