Steve,
I goofed on the model number, its a T1600, not a T1200. I've created a
text file from /proc/cpuinfo; see attachment.
The T1600 has a 11.rc1 system that installs OK but does not directly
boot off the disk drive;
what does work is EFI booting an existing Debian 10.9 system and
placing the 11.rc1 grub stanza inside the 10.9 /etc/grub.d/40_custom
file ; see Bug#989962
I have performed an 11.rc2 install via bios mode booting 11.rc2 media
and performing an install without any use of EFI
All my laptops boot in secure boot mode; this is greatly appreciated.
I perform test installs to this T1600 system to emulate the laptop
configuration.
What matters the most to me is the compiler/library configuration.
At the moment I'm using gnu gcc/g++ because the llvm and clang
compilers on Debian 10 failed to execute some intricate c++ code.
In the big picture, it does not matter very much if the T1600 boots
bios mode or UEFI mode.

(note bug 989810 my experiences with rc1 ; it installed as expected but
the installed system failed to boot)
The delivers the following messages and halts(I had only a few seconds to
capture the gist):

OK. These messages are from shim, which runs before GRUB on a Secure
Boot setup. Your problem isn't that your system does not support
SB, it's just that it's running out of EFI variable storage
space. Shim is trying to store copies of some of its internal
variables, and that's failing. That's painful. :-(
Google is refusing to find me anything about your system, which is
surprising. Could you give me an idea of its age and the rest of its
specs please?
As a workaround for your installed system: if you're not wanting /
trying to use SB, you could try booting with older bullseye media in
Rescue mode. Get into the booted system and run
# apt-get remove --purge shim-signed
# grub-install
and that should let you get in OK after that.
