Glad you were able to get it installed!

Only way I'd know how to narrow that down is to temporarily disable
components one at a time and see if it goes away. Possibly storage
related, so I'd start by pulling that PCI-e adapter first.
> 2) My motherboard doesn't support NVME but I do have a PCI-e adapter for a NVME SSD I bought, and I have that plugged in. The SSD is recognized by Qubes, and now I want to pass that through to my Windows 10 HVM and install the Win10 on it, for maximum speed. I don't know how to discover the backend for it, though. I am looking through the list of PCI devices in the qubes settings gui, and I don't see anything which resembles it.
Try "lspci -tv". It will give the same list, but in tree view it might
be more clear.

"xl info" will give you some, but if you search on keywords like "Fedora
hardware specs" you should find more commands.

I would like to change that, by cloning the Firecuda partitions to the SSD drive. I don't know if that will work, but I cannot discover that unless I manage to find out how to shrink the partition to beneath 1TB so my Acronis 2019 boot disk can clone the partitions. How do I do this?
The quickest way to fix this would be to temporarily disconnect that 2TB
drive then reinstall Qubes, now that you have a functional process.
