Hello,
It's really good that you managed to install it anyway. Thanks for
persevering :) Nevertheless we need to fix the problem.

Turns out Ventoy was the crux of the issue here. Ventox allows to
install multiple iso images just by copying them in a directory of the
drive. It then creates a device mapping which look like that:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part
└─sda2 8:2 0 238G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 14.6G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 14.6G 0 part
│ └─ventoy 253:0 0 842.9M 1 dm
└─sdb2 8:18 0 32M 0 part
This device mapping defeats our "eligible-devices" procedure. It's
because the UUID that is passed as the root=xxx argument of the Linux
command line is in fact related to /dev/dm-0 which is different from
/dev/sdb.
I had a look to the parted sources and it should detect mapped devices
but for some reason it doesn't. Figuring it out and fixing it is maybe a
bit risky before the release.
So I'm trying to figure out a (cheap) way to make the correlation
between /dev/dm-0 and /dev/sdb to exclude the latter in the eligible
devices procedure.
Any idea is welcomed!
Thanks,
Mathieu
