Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Hi! I'm afraid that regular arm64 d-i images fail to detect qemu's CD-ROM, and there's apparently no way to direct it to load udebs from a network mirror like mini.iso does. On the other hand, installation with mini.iso works well.
The failing step is "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives".
