However, upon reboot/startup I get the following error and then a black screen. Any clues to how I should continue?
I installed Qubes 3.2 without problems and have been using 3.2 on this machine since the release.

I tried to install Qubes 4.0 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X230. The install went smoothly without having to do any work in the BIOS.

We discussed this issue recently on this mailing list. I also tried the suggestion from above now, and it did not fix it on my Thinkpad X230. The default iommu=no-igfx option works fine though.
However, the suggestion by awokd is working for me. Add the two lines to the kernel sections in Xen.cfg as in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#cannot-start-installation-installation-completes-successfully-but-then-bios-loops-at-boot-device-selection-hangs-at-four-penguins-after-choosing-test-media-and-install-qubes-os-in-grub-menu .
just to be clear, my only intention was to help fellow newbie Andreas not to jump on your attempt to help.

The Thinkpad X230 is a good laptop -- that's why I bought it after all. A solution that asks for opening your laptop case with a screwdriver and a connect a hardware IC flasher to the motherboard is just not practical for everyone. I might try some time in the future, though ;)
I also suggest buying a *20 series non-chiclet keyboard while you are at
it, it is a good mod.
