I think the heading at the top says: "[!!] Load installer components from an installer ISO" though ISO is a bit of a guess—it's very unclear. > does your installer find your iso file? Yes, as shown by these selected lines from the log. /dev/sdb1 is the USB stick onto which I copied the log. It plays no part in the installation. main-menu[274]: INFO: Menu item 'iso-scan' selected … iso-scan: devices found: '/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 /dev/sda8 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb' iso-scan: selected_device(s)='/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 /dev/sda8 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb' iso-scan: Mounted /dev/sda1 for first pass … iso-scan: Failed mounting /dev/sda1 (from /dev/sda1) as an ISO image and so on until: iso-scan: Mounted /dev/sda5 for first pass kernel: [ 20.221192] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Well, I would do (see below), which is why the Grub menuentry has that label. But, to replicate your OP, I've used the ISO debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso, and consequently my wifi won't work (no firmware), and I haven't plugged in an ethernet cable. > network connection isn't needed if you use hard disk > installation method, with debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso you can > install bare minimal debian system Precisely, that's what it ended up with. The sequence of steps that should be seen are: Language? ✓ Location? ✓ Keymap? ✓ (here it searches for the ISO) (loading additional components) Firmware from wherever? NO Configure network? NO Hostname? ✓ Domain? ✓ Root password, username and password? ✓ ✓ ✓ Time zone? ✓ Partitioner: SELECTED a spare partition for / Without swap? YES (installs base system) Without mirror? YES Install what [standard]? STANDARD Popularity? NO (installs bootloader) (os-prober runs) RTC is UTC? ✓ Remove installation before reboot: (no need, of course) ✓ means that your response is likely different from mine. I didn't install Swap as I only had one spare partition. With the files you mentioned in your OP: debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso (dated ~ Dec 17 2022) vmlinuz (dated ~ Dec 15 2022) initrd.gz (dated ~ Dec 15 2022) the above is what should happen. (The dates on these files might not agree if your download method does not honour the files' metadata.) So could you please post the output of $ md5sum debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso $ md5sum vmlinuz $ md5sum initrd.gz for the files that you used, and where in the list above it is that the process gets stuck. --------------------------- As a partition with a base system and 5.10.0-20-amd64 kernel is fairly useless, I booted (using the newly installed EFI/Grub) into my production system on the machine, and renamed the ISOs' filenames in /boot: debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso → debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso-hidden firmware-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso-hidden → firmware-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso Then I repeated the exercise. This time, the firmware was loaded, I configured the wifi, chose a mirror, and I installed a full "standard system utilities" from a Debian mirror. This system is fully up-to-date, with a 5.10.0-21-amd64 kernel. From the syslog's first and last lines: Feb 19 15:07:41 syslogd started: BusyBox v1.30.1 Feb 19 15:22:24 finish-install: info: Running /usr/lib/finish-install.d/94save-logs that took all of 15 minutes. How does this compare with a normal expert install from a USB stick? Well, a few questions are skipped, like: NTP pool kernel metapackage generic/targeted initrd download protocol source repositories updates/backports policy update automation whether to install Grub where ” ” ” so-called removable media path and, most significant to me, no option for remote ssh install. I'm not a preseeder, so I don't know whether a kernel parameter on the linux /boot/vmlinuz line would fix that. Cheers, David.
