Folk, I am trying to install Qubes 4.0.1 onto a HP laptop (model 151-da000). It has a hybrid disk system, 250G SSD and 1 TB SATA. I had installed KDE neon on the box, overwriting the native Windows installation, using about 100G of the SSD drive. I am planning on making this a dual boot machine, with Qubes on the other 150 G of the SSD.
So... I try to install 4.0.1 on this box. The first thing I noted was that the default for the root partition is "LVM thin provisioning." WHen I accepted that, I got the error that this was not possible and to make a different choice. I then chose just LVM, which it accepted. It then copied all the appropriate files and then gave me the error that the boot loader could not be installed, but did I want to copy the rest of the files anyway. I chose yes. When I rebooted the machine, I found that I could boot neither into KDE neon nor Qubes. So... I reinstalled KDE neon onto its partition. When I rebooted, Qubes came up in the Grub menu! I chose Qubes, and the initialization screen came up, but when I chose the default options, it hung with the error that it could not find the kernel file. KDE neon came up fine. So... I tried reinstalling Qubes again, only this time chose "native partition" instead of "LVM". Again, it said that it could not install the boot loader. I aborted it at that point because I had some work to do and could not take the time to reinstall KDE neon again. Any pointers?
