The same machine varies with different desktop environments - for cinnamon and LXDE, it will appear to fail with black screen and will then come up in default vESA compatible 800x600 mode or so.
For KDE, it might have done the same but the specific firmware warnings for network hardware - which hadn't got in the way of other installs - prevented any further progress and it wasn't possible to go to another virtual terminal and fix the error. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting/Bullseye_r0 refers - installs by amacater.
