I'm working on a method to add any parameter I may need now and in the future to kernel and maybe I found it,thanks to the help of some good reddit users that put me on the right path. The method is called "Automate the installation of Debian with Preseed". Basically I should create a preseed.cfg file that I should add inside the Debian ISO image so that the installer will read inside of it and it will automate some settings during the installation. At the moment this is the preseed.cfg file that I'm trying to use :
This not related to the previous issue (cpio). I don't really know what did you try, where are these commands coming from?

maybe it does not boot because the different checksums of the files ?
No, it is not related to the checksums, but the content of the iso.

This command is invalid. And I guess the iso you created is invalid too, just I still don't know what do you want to achieve, what kind of instructions did you try to follow and what went wrong (your initial cpio command was also incorrect).
I've mentioned it on the first post. Can you see it ? My goal is to learn how to pass some arguments to the debian 11 kernel using a preseed file while I'm customizing the ISO image with cubic.
I'm trying to understand how to extract all the files from a (bootable) Debian ISO and then re-generate a bootable ISO image. Below you can see the commands that I've issued. For some unknown reason,the generated ISO image does not boot. Can someone help me to understand why ? thanks.
I have not used a debian live media for years. Does it have a checksum protection built into the squashfs like arch linux iso does? That is one way of keeping the iso from being altered.
You are going to have to look at the debian docs. And see how they recommend altering an installation iso.
