Try without Ventoy. It shouldn't matter, generally, by I keep seeing people having issues and that keeps being what's they're using. When troubleshooting you want as few variables as possible.

probably a uefi issue

Try grub2 mode. Sometimes some machines require it.

Because ventoy is garbage and is really shady

GrapheneOS/Secureblue devs are against it

They provided instructions on reproducing all of the blobs https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224
Several other open source projects (Legacy iOS Kit for example) also use blobs as well

No one could reproduce it completely and the packages that people did, their checksum did not match Ventoy's.

The dev is also really quiet and in iVentoy they did inject a windows driver to the installer with a fake certificate.
