Hi,
I tried installing with the Trixie RC2 installer on a system with Gigabyte X870E Aorus Master motherboard and the installer freezes at the "detecting network hardware" step. I can't type anything, but also can't change VT or reboot with sysrq, so it's probably a kernel panic. Happens both with the RC2 dvd image and the weekly dvd image.
I also tried the weekly netinst image, that doesn't freeze but shows an error about missing firmware ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin and wifi doesn't work. I guess the firmware is present in the dvd image but somehow makes the system crash. Isn't the firmware supposed to be included in the netinst image also?
If there's interest, I'd love to help debug and fix this or provide more information. The wifi works with the xubuntu 25.04 installer.
Kind regards,
Ivan Yosifov
