You said that you were previously running R3.2 on this machine, correct?

The problem is that whenever you upgrade or remove a Qubes kernel, the
uninstallation script does *not* remove the corresponding initramfs.img
file from /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/ so if you install and remove a bunch of
kernels, then over time, that directory gets cluttered up with old files
and thus you eventually run out of space on /boot.

The answer would be to somehow mount /boot (probably using another OS)
and delete all the initramfs.img files in the /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/ that
no longer apply (which might be all of them or everything in that
directory, if you're attempting a clean install) and then retry the R4
installation again.

In fact, all Qubes users who upgrade kernels will get bitten by this
eventually (if they haven't already). If you've ever ran df -h in dom0
and wondered why /boot seemed to be slowly filling up over time, this is
why. Not sure if it's a flaw in the qubes-kernel uninstallation script
or something else. I've just gotten into the habit of manually deleting
old img files in that directory whenever the system uninstalls a kernel.
