Macbook air 2017 never seen this issue before i enter internet recovery download catalina it starts the initial install then when bar gets to end pop up saying there has been an error to try again tried 5 times same problem.
Reset PRAM/NVRAM
Ran Apple diagnostics everything passed then booted a set of diagnostics ran them everything passed.
wiped partition formatted extended journaled ran first aid no issues used built in image that it was shipped with same problem it was a few version back from catalina.
wiped partition formatted extended journaled tried USB install media same issue.
wiped partition formatted exfat installed windows 10 worked perfect ran another set of diagnostics no issues found. ram passed as well
Booted livecd Ubuntu 22.04 booted fine no issues ran more diagnostics no issues found.
Ran smart diagnostics on ssd says it is good.
Checked date and time it is spot on.
I really don`t like apple because all it says an error has occurred at least with windows the BSOD gives you an idea what happened and a dump you can examine.
Created new install media tested on another macbook air works fine tried it on macbook air with problems same
Error happens just before language setup
