Primary Problem: When trying to setup partitioning, and selecting either Standard or LVM, this error occurs: "storage configuration failed: autopart failed: Encryption requested for LUKS device sda2 but no encryption key specified for this device.
Could this have something to do with the fact that the original SSD had OPAL 2.0 and the replacement SSD does NOT have that feature? Am I unable to use the OCZ drive as a result, or is this something entirely different.
Background: I am a first time user of Qubes OS and have only marginal experience with installing any type of Linux disto. I'm mostly a Windows guy, where things like this 'just work' usually.
Thanks for the support.
I did exactly that; selected the Full option and it produced the error message I listed. Using the Standard Partition Scheme has the same result, but with a second error message that is identical to the first, except for "sda3" instead of "sda2".
Did you remember to tick the little box called "use unused space" or similar? It seems like QubesOS is trying to re-use your previous partition-scheme?
I actually (accidentally) stumbled upon the solution. Apparently, changing the Total Graphics Memory setting (shared video memory amount for the built-in Intel GPU) from 512MB to 256MB totally solves the GUI problems!!! I was easily able to use the standard graphical installer to get Qubes OS up and running just fine. Hopefully some other confused person will find this useful to know.
The Qubes Installer has had this bug since the beginning, and it still isn't fixed in version 3.2. So don't get your hopes up.
I'm not exactly sure what 'boot kernel parameters' are, I only had to set the BIOS setting to 256MB as described and everything worked natively via the normal GUI installer. I don't recall using any special settings beyond that, but it was quite awhile now when I worked on this.
