Qubes 4.0 install from iso

[Patrick]

Hi, now I'm trying to upgrade an HP envy desktop system from qubes 3.2 to qubes 4.0.

The system won't get into installation execution from the usb with qubes iso 4.0, it goes into Dracut emergency shell.

Question - how do I write the journalctl file to the usb key from the # command line? I can't seem to make the regular commands work.

2nd - some of the errors in the log:

ACPI error : [GPLD] Namespace lookup failure
" " : Method parse/execution failed
" " : Method parse/execution

in the x509 section...
"couldn't get size"

usb 1-9: string descriptor 0 read error: -32

kernel : sd 4:0:0:0 [add] No caching mode page found

and

kernel : sd 4:0:0:0: [add] assuming drive cache: write through

Finally:
Dracut-initqueue569 : warning: Dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts

Then it finally dies and goes to Dracut.

Why different results with 4.0 and what suggestions can be made?

Thanks,

Don't know this one. You might have to use a second USB drive.

Try commenting out mapbs described here

and the section after it if that doesn't help.
