I think you mis-understand.  I am not assigning/attaching anything.  This is 
doing installation only that generates the error.

That is not ideal.  The main reasons to disable the dGPU is for battery life.

Under Arch, I can do this (not efficiently have you) with bbswitch.  However, I 
am not making it that far with Qubes as I cannot boot into the system after 
installation.

First of all, what laptop do you have?  "That didn't break mine" indicates you 
also have a P1?  Please share your experience installing Qubes to a fully 
functional state (including suspend - not even us Arch guys have figured out 
suspend yet with the ACPI tables on the P1).

It is an extremely well known bricking problem with all modern (early to late 
2018) Lenovo Thinkpad models:

(and dozens of threads on the Lenovo forums)

If you have an early 2018 Thinkpad, you're pretty much ok.  My warning applies 
to all current models.

It got so bad Lenovo actually pulled the last 2 or 3 BIOS from just about every 
Thinkpad and Yoga series from the downloads site.  The 1.15 my P1 came with is 
long gone, as well as the 1.13 version that was there.  

Only 1.10 and 1.17 are available now - and 1.17 I can confirm does not brick it.
