I have installed Qubes on my Hp Elitebook so I know the USB works just fine.  When I put my Yoga 910 in a legacy boot mode (disabling UEFI/Secure boot, etc.) and boot the Qubes from a USB, it starts loading the installation, then it would say 'Falling back to the text mode'. In a text mode, it doesn't detect my laptop's SSD as the installation destination.
 
What can I do?

Hi,

did you change the disk controller mode to AHCI in the BIOS? Otherwise no Linux can find your SSD.

BTW, UEFI should work fine with Qubes.

Cheers,

Yes, I did change the disk controller mode to AHCI in the BIOS.
 
When I use UEFI, I get the 'system halted' error where it doesn't do anything afterwords (due to using Windows USB).
 
When I use Legacy Mode, I am stick at 'No Installation Destination disks detected' even with AHCI.
 
:(
