Trying to install 12.4 on Dell Precision M6700 laptop with CD/DVR R/W using bootable USB created from debian-12.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso via rufus-4.4.exe
Creation of bootable USB apparently proceeded successfully
Laptop boots to CD properly, but after choosing 'Graphical Install' on first screen, I got a number of errors like
"[ 21.1003897 COMSET Failure...']
but then the language, location, and keyboard type screens were displayed, followed by the 'Detect and mount installation media' screen. On this screen I got the error "Your installation media couldn't be mounted...."
From another post on this issue I found a hint to use Ctrl-ALT-F2 to get into bash shell, and this worked. However, I have no idea how to manually mount the ISO (assuming that's what I should be doing).
Note that this laptop does contain a CD/DVD R/W module - could that be confusing the installer?
TIA,
Frank
