You probably need to ask the project directly : https://github.com/UbuntuAsahi/ubuntu-asahi Because you have installer issue not asahi issue.

@k3nmaru your install issues do not sound related to this thread.

Before posting a new issue, I recommend a macOS reinstall to make sure you are starting from a clean slate. That might sound extreme, but will likely resolve your problem.

If install issues persist after reinstalling macOS, please take a screenshot or text of the errors and file a new issue.
