What happened?

After booting into the initrd stage, the init process is unable to find any relative devices that is associated with the ISO, and causes a failure in booting. (See the screen shot below) These ISOs were confirmed that they can be booted from asahi linux bootloader if they were burnt to the USB stick entirely.

The ISO is apparently labeled.

All 3 boot modes (Normal, GRUB2, Memdisk) were not working properly. So, I managed to collect some debug logs.
Memdisk mode on debian-asahi-live-trixie ISO:

Besides, it complained about FAT sector size not fit(?) one is 512, and another one is 2048. It reboot so soon that I didn't take screenshots on-time. Here is the screenshot of FAT sector size not fit.

Normal mode on asahi-live (asahi-alarm) ISO:

I have read past issues that ventoy is not going to support Mac platform now. But to me, this is just a few steps away from getting it supported as it is booting from an aarch64 UEFI bootloader. If you are unable to support it, at least, you can share some debug tips for me.
