Okay.

I'll say a fiew things:
- While you certainly can debug d-i (debugging Debian installer), the
easiest way to access logs is to tar up '/var/log/installer' after
installation
and to provided it as an attachment.
- The utility 'dd' is not required to copy the iso onto the USB key, 'cp
*.iso /dev/sdb' is enough.
- If you reinstall Debian many times, you should maybe consider using a
'preseed' file.
- As far as I understand it, everything is working fine on Buster but
not on Bullseye, tarring the logs from a Buster installation and from
Bullseye might give us some clues on where this is failing.
