Installation freezes on SSD

[alex...@gmail.com]

Hey I am having an issue installing qubes 4.0 on my external SSD (Samsung 1TB SSD T5). Qubes installes fine with my flash drive that the qubes image is on. When it askes me to restart the computer after installation I do and boots up fine to the template configuration area. Now when I am configuring the templates it freezes on me and shows a black cursor. The mouse also stops working and no keyboards inputs work anymore. I have left this for about 8 hours and is still there. I have to power off the computer for it to stop.

I have also installed this on my flash drive before this to test it out and everything installed perfectly even the template configurations. So this brings me to it has to be something with the SSD.

Any ideas as to how I can resolve this?

try without making a sys-usb or sys-net vm by default checkbox and make them afterwards.

its probably discussed on forums somewhere, I think alot of people use usb drive, but I just assumed possible headaches if I wanted to use a sys-usb, I could be wrong. also possible problems if both are on same controller.

This freezing has happened once ? or repeatedly ? Did you use the
default template installation or change anything ?

What about like the other poster, recreate your installation media a
different way? following the documentation? just some thoughts

I used the default templates qubes assigned. I have tryed about 10 different times.

I took cooloutac's advice except for I kept the default sys-net vm checkbox and unchecked the sys-usb template and its working now. Thanks for the help.
