Re: Installation Problem after selecting Language and Country

There is nothing in /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/S21ventoy-loop. The folder itself exists, though. Edit: Sorry, my bad, thought it was a folder. The file contents are:

sleep 1
DEV=$(blkid -L Ventoy)
mount -t exfat $DEV /mnt
modprobe loop
losesetup -f /mnt/devuan_excalibur_6.1.1_amd64_netinstall.iso

Is it possible that the problem is that the boot order in my BIOS doesn't start from USB? I doubt it, but I'm not too familiar with it to know either way.

Under normal circumstances: no. You have a brandnew efi-only system. To boot from any device connected to your main board you go into the bios and directly select the device or you can use boot-override. This is a nice efi feature: you press a certain key during the boot process, and get the boot menu as result and can select the device to boot from. This key you need to press depends on the mainboard/efi bios manufacturer. On my ASUS mainboard I have to use F8. When I am not mistaken you have a MSI mainboard. Please read the manual, it should be documented in there.

Re: Installation Problem after selecting Language and Country

OK, your S21ventoy-loop file looks good.

What does this return?

losetup -a

If it returns nothing, try this

sh /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/S21ventoy-loop ; losetup -a

If there's this line: /dev/loop0: 0 /mnt/devuan_excalibur_6.1.1_amd64_netinstall.iso - then try this:

mkdir -p /cdrom ; mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /cdrom

If it mounts correctly, then see if installation will continue.
If there are any errors/info displayed, please report back.

Re: Installation Problem after selecting Language and Country

if you still have doubts, you can press "del" for enter bIOS , and then "F5" or similar for default settings, press "F10" for savings setting, that should settle it for you.

Good luck.
