in the case of debian 11.2 no computer, not even the most recent one, can start with the installation directly from the 1st DVD.
maybe you are telling me that i have to use grub to start the DVD ?
- I set the bios with the boot from DVD.
- the system went straight into the pre-installed OS boot.
What ISO exactly did you use ?
i downloaded ISO files from here (i have tried both format): https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/
I used brasero, for example.
I selected: burn ISO image.
So it did not actively offer you the DVD but rather you told it to prefer DVD over hard disk ?
yes: what you wrote is right.
So does the following small (251 MiB) ISO here work better ?
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.11.1-amd64-netinst.iso
i have already installed the jessie version of linux some years ago in one
of the pc where im try now to install 11.2.
[...]
but some days ago i tried to install debian jessie newly in the same pc and the installation was very good.
the bios here is very simple.
I have tried with: 10.3, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3.[...]
my results (with DVD-1 debian version 11.2):1903144+0 record in
1903144+0 record out

I just wanted to tell you that with a 2021-machine, of a friend of mine,
we tried to download the ISO file (DVD-1) from this 2021-machine, always
burn it in his 2021-machine (windows-OS) and we always tried to launch the installation from the same machine. the result was for me unexpectedly the same as all the other tests I performed.

Sorry for my lack of more particular ideas about what goes wrong.
The fact that the other subscribers to this mailing list are not offering
own ideas might mean that they currently have none.
To the bystanders:
A test with an old BIOS machine and a Debian 11.3 DVD-1 would nevertheless
be helpful. I can currently only test the EFI boot path.
Dear Anne.
through the CD you listed to me, and the net, i got my debian 11.3. its
good.
but i wanted to try again some way to get my debian directly by the 1st DVD. through USB i got the same problem as the DVD, just the same.
so i tried inserting the CD and then replacing it with the DVD.......
and you wrote: "Once the installer has started, you can put in an amd64
DVD to install software
from."
good: something happened, but i got this error:
error: file '/install.amd/vmlinuz' not found
error: you need to load th kernel first
so, i tried to continue with the CD again, inserting the DVD after the next step, but during the phase "detecting hardware to find installation media"
a problem reading data was showed.
i would like to try clearing the first 512 bytes of the iso file, but i
dont know the way to do that.
When the CD is scanned properly using this process, but the DVD fails, then your DVD is bad. Maybe the DVD has bad data on it (corrupted download), or the DVD burner is bad, or the DVD reader is bad.

I agree in principle. But the particular reason for the firmware's refusal
to consider booting the DVD should be found out.
So i would still be interested in seeing the output of
xorriso -indev /dev/sr0 -toc -report_el_torito plain
while the DVD is in the drive, and of
xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -list_profiles
regardless whether the medium is loaded or not.
(If there is more than one optical drive, the address might be /dev/sr1 or /dev/sr2.)
Have a nice day :)
