EFI problem installing Debian 12 in an ASUS laptop (The attempt to mount a file system ... at /boot/efi failed)

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian 12.7 by USB in an ASUS M1502YA (https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-home/v ... /techspec/) and I'm finding what seems to be not an uncommon problem: "The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in XXX at /boot/efi failed.". I've seen a couple of posts that could be related but I haven't made sense of my BIOS settings, if that's where the solution lies: I've tried with Secure Boot Control enabled/disabled, also SVM mode; I don't see any options about legacy mode. I haven't had to install Debian in several years so I'm not familiar with these kinds of issues. Any suggestions? I imagine I can run some diagnostics from the Live USB if needed. Would switching to Debian 12.1 or similar be a worthwile attempt?

Thanks a lot
