Hi!
So after my failed USB stick, my power supply had failed, too 8-( When having got a new stick and a new power supply, I tried to install Qubes OS 4.1.0 on an external disk that had some old Qubes OS 4.0 on it. I chose a custom setup, creating partitions LUKS, PC, VG, and LVs as instructed. The assigning the partitions and LVs. Installation went smoothly (mostly because of a real fast USB stick), I was asked to reboot. Unfortunately (I think it's an old bug) boot failed as dracut wanted to open a LUKS ID that wasn't found. My guess was that the installer had cached the old LUKS ID that was on the disk before I recreated the structure. On the next attempt, I edited the GRUB command line to have the correct LUKS UUID. THings looked better, but after unlocking the LUKS successfully, nothing else seemed to happen. So I aborted it. Examining the journal of the failed boots, I found this: Feb 24 23:52:19 dom0 lvm[1326]: Device open /dev/sdd1 8:49 failed errno 2 Feb 24 23:52:20 dom0 kernel: md124: p1 Feb 24 23:52:20 dom0 lvm[1326]: WARNING: Scan ignoring device 8:1 with no paths.
