Sounds like good advice, I only tried backports as I understood that was where to find the later kernels. As it is, Bookworm and my hardware are quite happy on the .iso installed kernel so I will leave it at this kernel version unless, as you mentioned, something goes asunder.Congratulations, well done. The mystery remains of why Mint could boot both but Debian only itself. OTOH, I'd probably be content to make a note to self about the kernel and move on. My understanding, by the way, is that you want to disable backports except when using. No need to remove from sources.list. Commenting it out (placing a # at the beginning of the line) will be sufficient.
As for the kernel, if the issue comes up again in some other context, I'd install 6.5 to match Mint. And don't delete 6.1 until you're sure 6.5 is working well in Debian.
I appreciate the help, many thanks.
