Hi all,

I tried to install Bullseye on my MacBookAir6,1 but the SSD is not detected:

Buster and earlier releases work just well:

It works now, thanks for your help. Is there a known bug or something?

Great! Glad it could be resolved as easily as that.

Probably a firmware bug. I don't know. Such issues are pretty common,
and disabling the IOMMU is the first thing you should try. Sometimes
it just doesn't play well with some other feature. If you don't need
it then you might as well just disable it.

My Thinkpad fails to suspend if I enable both IOMMU and TPM 2.0. One of
them is OK, but not both. Go figure. This is https://bugs.debian.org/949020

For some background:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/intel-iommu.html

There are also a number of other options than "off" you could try if you
want to play with it:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

Note that the bug has probably always been there in your PC firmware.
It showed up now because Debian changed the default from "off" to "on".
