This report details a persisting issue with Magisk installation on MEmu emulator running Android 12 (x86_64). While Magisk v27.0 successfully patches boot.img with the correct Ramdisk detection, versions v27.1 and above (including v28.1) incorrectly identify the Ramdisk as 'No' and fail to patch the boot image.

The issue occurs during the patching process, specifically when attempting to write **magisk_patched.img**. Error messages indicate an exception thrown on the remote process, likely stemming from incorrect storage permissions or file path handling in recent Magisk versions.

Interestingly, using the same boot.img and Magisk v28.1 on MEmu with Android 9 (x86_64) works flawlessly. Magisk correctly detects Ramdisk: Yes, and boot.img patching completes without errors. This points towards a potential bug in Magisk's detection logic for x86_64 builds specifically on Android 12.

Here's a breakdown of the problem and its characteristics:

* **Device Information:** MEmu Emulator (v9.2.0), Android 12 (x86_64), Unlocked Bootloader, Magisk requires Root.
* **Magisk Versions:** Magisk v27.0 (Works), Magisk v27.1+ to v28.1 (Fails)
* **Specific Error:** Incorrect Ramdisk Detection (Ramdisk: No), magisk_patched.img write failure.
* **Key Observations:** The issue is exclusive to Android 12 (x86_64) on MEmu. Same boot.img works with Magisk 28.1 on Android 9 (x86_64) - further pointing to a platform-specific problem.

**It is crucial to investigate:**

* Have there been any changes in Magisk after v27.0 which might have affected x86_64 compatibility or Ramdisk detection?

A resolution to this bug is essential to ensure seamless Magisk installation on a significant user base.
