I can confirm that a Qubes 3.2 can boot on a Lenovo T560, however it
requires the kernel4.8 present in the qubes-dom0-unstable repository.

Without this kernel, the installer, or an already installed system will
reboot.

It is however possible to install the system on an external disk and
update the kernel from the unstable repository. The hard drive with the
updated system will then properly boot if used on the Lenovo T560.
