Thank you, I've switched to tty4 and got some messages as the image

No more messages ?
and below lines seem to be suspicious.
ath12k_pci 0000:c2:00.0: firmware failed to load ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin (-2)
(snip)
ath12k_pci 0000:c2:00.0: firmware failed to load ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/amss.bin (-2)
Missing firmware messages are expected. But I expected more kernel
messages if there is a kernel panic or other serious error. I guess the
syslog process which writes to tty4 is already dead when that happens.
You can try to switch to tty2, run
echo "7 4 1 7" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
and watch kernel messages in tty2.
amss.bin is included in firmware-atheros
firmware-atheros: /usr/lib/firmware/ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/amss.bin
firmware-atheros: /usr/lib/firmware/ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/board-2.bin
firmware-atheros: /usr/lib/firmware/ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/m3.bin
and firmware-atheros_20241210-1_all.deb in d-i has those.
$ dpkg-deb --contents firmware-atheros_20241210-1_all.deb |grep ath12k
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2024-12-20 06:13 ./usr/lib/firmware/ath12k/

Upstream repo also does not have firmware-2.bin
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware
Then I did is copying /usr/lib/firmware/ath12k/* before hardware detection
, ln -s board-2.bin firmware-2.bin and it works without hang up! :)
However, I cannot specify WLAN setting (SSID, password).
Why not ?
