vmlinuz missing on installation

I've successfully installed Trisquel in a virtual machine and everything works fine.

However, when trying to either try or install on my laptop, I get the following error:

error file '/casper/vmlinuz' not found.
alloc magic is broken at 0x768ad500: 768375c0
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

When I open the ISO on the flash drive, I can see that casper/vmlinuz is there.

The machine is a System76 Darter Pro (Darp 8). I'm currently running Pop! OS, and have successfully run Debian on it in the past.

Any suggestions or hints as to why it works in the VM and not the laptop?

Thanks for your replies. I've tried the ISO on two different USB sticks, formatted as FAT. I'll try Ext4 and see if that does the trick.

I've also tried it on two different machines; the Darter Pro and an ASUS. I disabled Secure Boot on both — I had to disable it on the ASUS previously to install Fedora.
