Create a USB flach stick using the" gparted " MBR-partition table.
Created an Ext4-partition and its label. Set the partition "boot" attribute.
Create a bootable flash drive:
# dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=/usr/lib/EXTLINUX/mbr.bin of=/dev/xxx
where xxx is the name for example, sdf.
# extlinux --install "folder path" (for example, "/media/u1/UP1/", where "UP1" is file system label)
For Debian 10.4 copied from a local folder:
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
and copied "debian-10.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso"
or
For Debian 10.5 copied from the folder:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/
или
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian10.5/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian10.5/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
and copied from https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/
"debian-10.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso»
In both cases, when installing Debian from a flash drive, I received the message:
Load installer components from an ISO installer.
No modules were found. This pfobably is due to a mismatch between the kernel
by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the
archieve.
and the installation had to be stopped.
For Debian 10.3 copied from the local folder:
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
and copied "debian-10.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso"
and everything was established without problems.
Copy Debian 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 to a USB stick in the device root, download
with it, the installation of Debian passes without problems.
For example:
dd if="./debian-10.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" of=/dev/xxx bs=1M status=progress
where xxx is the name of the unit, for example, sdf.
Installing Debian 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 from a DVD does not cause these problems.

I think the problem is that the kernel versions for DVD and
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ or
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/
в initrd.gz
for Debian 10.4 and Debian 10.5
don't match.
for Debian 10.5
4.19.0-10 - the kernel versions for DVD
4.19.0-5 - the kernel versions for
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian10.5/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
or (for GTK)
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian10.5/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/
for Debian 10.4
4.19.0-9 - the kernel versions for DVD
4.19.0-5 - the kernel versions for "main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/" or
"main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/"
for Debian 10.3
4.19.0-8 - the kernel versions for DVD
4.19.0-8 - the kernel versions for "main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/" or
"main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/"
For Debian 10.3 everything was established without problems.
