The firmware should be the motherboard (BIOS/UEFI). You could start looking in your BIOS/UEFI after settings that may be wrong and require adjustments. Is VT-d enabled? Is there a second "Virtualization" that needs enabling, for exaple under "Advanced --> CPU" UEFI settings? There can be other settings too, it's hard to mention them all, but those two are the most important ones, which is sometimes only 1 merged setting. Does your hardware support VT-d and other Qubes hardware requirements? Does Qubes 3.2. run on this hardware? Qubes 4 is known to be more strict to hardware requirements and may not work smoothly or may not even install if the hardware requirements or security is not correct. Qubes 3.2. is less an issue when missing VT-d and similar. This might also be a place to look and confirm. If you got Qubes 3.2. running on the machine, then try run in dom0 "qubes-hcl-report" to see if you meet the requirements. However, dracut/ACPI errors doesn't strike me as errors that appear if there are issues with the Qubes 4 specific requirements. You may want to try install with LegacyBIOS/Grub if you tried UEFI/EFI, or vice versa, whichever you did not try yet. You can also update your BIOS/UEFI to the newest version, however be sure you don't brick your machine. Make sure you know any pitfalls as it may make your motherboard break and become useless. The kernel contains drivers too, the most essential ones, while the modules contain extra drivers for the kernel. These errors could also be driver issues, for example you may have to edit the EFI or the Grub to pick a different driver before starting. Unfortunately I believe you need to edit the /boot/efi/EFI.cfg file on the install media, but you can more easily change it live on Grub by hovering over the install menu, and thne press "E" key to edit the install menu in grub. Here you can change ACPI settings, drivers, virtulization states, hide/unhide hardware, and so on. I'm not sure if it even is a driver issue, I can't see that from the logs, whether it can be found there or not. But it's some clues to go with, and maybe you can google some up to trial and error. Just be careful, for example few of the ACPI settings can be dangerous to your hardwaree, so double-check any recommendations you find on the internet. Also it may be worth if you can find any ACPI settings in your UEFI/BIOS too. At any rate, I usually solve these kind of problems with trial and errors through experiments. Someone more knowledgeable might drop by with a better advice.
