Is there a way to upgrade this to the version that you have
suggested ? I prefer to learn how to upgrade it than to make a
fresh installation. I would like to learn how to add "separately"
what's missing on the 11.5 and that,instead,it is on the version
that you suggested,the firmware,if I have understood it correctly.
Below I describe what I personally would do, if I had the goals I
understand you to have. I claim no expertise.
I believe there are two possible problems you are experiencing.
One possible problem, as Andrew mentions elsewhere in this thread, is
that the installer on the live iso (which you have used) is not the
same as the better-tested installer used on the standard, non-live
debian install media.
And so if your primary goal here is this:
learning how to install debian from standard install media on your
machine,
rather than the special case of this:
debugging the installer used by the live iso in particular
then I suggest using a non-live installer image.
In the general case, the current images of that sort for various
architectures can be found here
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/
In your particular case, for your educational project --to install
11.5 and manually supply non-free firmware from separate source on
your amd64 machine-- I would instead get the the 11.5 dvd image you
can find here
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/11.5.0/amd64/iso-dvd/
and the non-free firmware files from here
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/bullseye/11.5.0/
Good luck with your project.
