Yes, the installer of 24.04 is in my opinion an utter disaster.
22.04 was painless, upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04 was also no problem, but a fresh install of 24.04 was, due to a lot of issues, problematic and I had to put some work in to get it play nice.
I kept a kind of log here on this forum about installing on several computers.
The story of installing the pre-alpha and my 22.04 -> 24.04 upgrade path
And later on in that thread the story of a fresh install of 24.04.1
