Based on recent reports, there seems to be an issue when loading the desktop installer from a ventoy image. The server installer seems to be unaffected. The storage configuration based on the probert output is invalid because we seem to lack support for /dev/mapper/ventoy partitions.
Workaround: flashing the installer directly onto a USB stick (or other media) would be enough to work-around the issue but this needs to be confirmed.

Here's a redacted excerpt of the probe-data that involves ventoy and causes the failed installed.

"DEVNAME": "/dev/dm-0",
"DEVPATH": "/devices/virtual/block/dm-0",
"DEVTYPE": "disk",

},
{
"node": "/dev/mapper/ventoy-part3",
}
]
}
My attempts to reproduce the issue have some far been unsuccessful. I generated a ventoy image using ventoy-1.0.89 from Linux and tried the two following:
* Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sda -g <--- (gpt partition table)
* Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sda <--- (dos partition table)
I suspect that building the ventoy image from Windows might have a different result.
I would appreciate if someone affected could send us or detailed test-case (or maybe a `dd` of the media?) to reproduce the issue.
