Issues installing QubesOS on Samsung Gateway from bootable external hard drive

[learningtoday]

Hello everybody!

Set up qubes on external hard drive to boot upon launch. Downloaded latest version from https://www.qubes-os.org 

Installer loads fine, proceeds with install, but then I get these errors:

[ 215.94..... ] dracut-initqueue[649]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts
[ 215.94..... ] dracut-initqueue[649]: Warning: Could not boot
[ 215.94..... ] dracut-initqueue[649]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist
Starting Dracut Emergency Shell....
Warning: /dev/root does not exist

Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"

Entering emergencym ode. Exit the shell to continue.
Type "journalctl" to view system logs.
You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to the bug report.

And when I enter journalctl I get a thousand line report.

Laptop: Samsung Gateway 700Z series.

Let me know which more data should I submit to help troubleshoot and find solution to this problem.

Looking forward to hearing any tips,

Not quite clear on how far the installation got.
Did you succeed in setting up qubes, or do these errors occur during installation?
Are you using UEFI boot?
Did you verify installation medium?
What options did you select when installing Qubes?
Did you install Qubes to externmal USb drive?
