Well ... putting my sata controller in AHCI mode (in the BIOS) seems to have solved my problem.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh that is weird? Just to confirm, can you boot into the live USB?
Yep . I hadn't tried the install from the live USB since at first I created a fedora-server USB installer , so I gave it a go. It boots in the live-os just fine, but installation on HD fails.
I don't know what in the Fedora installer could cause that, but if you just want to get it working, you might try installing an old version and upgrading it, see if the older installer has the same problem.
I saw somewhere that Fedora has stopped supporting legacy bios so I tought that might do the trick, but nope ... same problem with Fedora 36.
I finally solved the problem by putting the SATA controller in AHCI mode (in the bios).
Guess that says a LOT about how good Debian is. No reason to use unreliable stuff then.
