How do I get the source to autoinstall ?

This is from a successful autoinstall:
2021-08-23 20:30:47,704 - subp.py[DEBUG]: Running command ['blkid',
'-tTYPE=vfat', '-odevice'] with allowed return codes [0, 2] (shell=False,
capture=True)

This is not present in the failed autoinstall:

How can get the source to see why its not "logging" an error - and not
telling my why its not happy with autoinstall ??

Thanks
