This recall to my mind a Windows (so sorry to name it here) bug where
bios calls were used on first stage boot but then the real driver was
missing (sata if I remember correctly).

Long time I don't use a Debian installer to install a Debian but I'm
pretty sure you can use alt+function keys (or alt+ctrl+function) while
installing when you get the error to get a shell and begin investigate
the problem looking for error messages, even plug some pendrive and
collect some log to share with the list.

Good luck
