I don't think so. The kernel log indicates that it got a negative
response from the user agent.
I'm not sure I understand your argument. Do you refer to 'firmware:
agent aborted' as negative response from the user agent?
That is not the root of the problem, rather a symptom. The most
problematic line is:
'check-missing-firmware: /run/udev/firmware-missing does not exist,
skipping'
This shows that the missing firmware is not written to the file, where
it used to be, and thus the Debian installer does not try to load the
missing firmware from a 'firmware' folder, because it thinks that
nothing is missing. Therefore the driver does not find the necessary
firmware and aborts.
I don't know what program is responsible for writing the
'firmware-missing' folder, but I assumed it would be the kernel, as this
is about kernel modules. On the other hand, this folder is a subfolder
of 'udev', so that may be the responsible program. If I recall
correctly, udev merged with systemd, so perhaps this is a problem in
systemd instead of the kernel?
Best regards,
Andreas
