Debian

• [FIXED IN TRIXIE] partman-auto: please increase default size of /boot - Made it effectively impossible to have 4KiB and 64KiB kernels installed at the same time.

Fedora

• dnf fails to automatically update the GRUB config, which results in new kernels not showing up in Petitboot. To manually sync the installed kernels to Petitboot, you can run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg as a workaround. Still not fixed as of Fedora 41.
