Hi! Eventually I could solve the problem (using another Linux System): For reasons completely unknown to me the partitions I had created manually were not retained (I had a small second partition, and I had erased both partitions created a second larger partition and two more): However after successful installation the old partitions were back AND LVM complained that the physical volume inside the LUKS is larger than the partition. That was the clue I needed! So I checked the partitions and found the partition was not what I had created (but the PV was the one I had created). I could suspect anaconda reading the partition table first, and then writing it back for no good reason (I said _I_ will provide partitions). Well the fix was (time consuming): I created the partitions from the "other" Linux, then booted the installer again and did yet another install. Now it booted! From SSD. Now really fast 8-) So Qubes OS did not give a good error message when encountering that bug!
