Hallo Mathieu,

Thank you so much for your effort.
I already managed the installation by burning the iso directly to my usb
drive and not via Ventoy.
Everything works fine.
I should have try this in the first place. Sometimes the ways of the lord
gnu are inscrutable.

Big thanks again and a warm regards to you and your team.

Typ.
