Qubes Installation freeze

[Blue&Red]

I've so far been unable to get qubes 4.0.1 to install on my Dell laptop, it keeps freezing of file 909/1042 kernel-qubes-vm.x86_64. Its a nvme drive if that makes a difference.

I've verified the ISO of qubes and that matches, I created the pen drive in Ubuntu using the DD command,as per the site, and I've used 2 different 16gb pen drives.

The pen drive boots in legacy mode and lets me enter all settings and starts install. The installation hangs at the file shown above and I cannot find any way to exit or restart the machine other than a hard reboot.

I've tried the UEFI troubleshooting on the qubes site as well, anyone else got any ideas?

I had the same problem on my Dell laptop. I had to blacklist the
nouveau module in the xen.cfg file, but if you are using legacy
boot, then the grub.cfg is probably the one to look at.
