I have a Lenovo T420s (4174W2F). I was able to install Qubes R2 from a DVD without a hitch. However, when attempting to install R3.1 the process fails with a series of messages of the form:

[ xx.xxxxxx] dracut-mount[787]: mount: /dev/mapper/live-rw: can't read superblock

followed by:

[ xx.xxxxxx] dracut-mount[787]: Warning: Can't mount root filesystem

I have attached the rdsosreport.txt. Please let me know if there's any other data that would be useful, and thanks for your help.

It looks like the installation image is incomplete. Note that Qubes 3.1
installation image do not fit on single-layer DVD, nor 4GB usb stick.
You need either double-layer DVD, or larger USB stick.
