There's a bug in the kernel driver here, that we've picked up in
testing of these exact images. See https://bugs.debian.org/1029116 and
https://bugs.debian.org/1031286 if you're interested in the details.

Yes, that's exactly the issue, and yeah, the weekly image worked just fine.

I already installed using the weekly image but I'll test when the new installer comes out anyway just to help the community :)

We're planning on doing another debian-installer release in the next
few days which will include this fix. Or if you try one of the current
daily/weekly images it will most likely work too...

Do not let me induce you to satisfy my curiosity, from an expectation, that I shall gratify yours. What I may judge proper to conceal, does not concern myself alone.
