Hello,
I'm trying since days to install Qubes on an Intel® NUC Kit NUC6CAYH which just won't really work. I've tried to install Qubes 3.2 which currently worked much better on the installation then Qubes 4.0.
For the Installation I've used an USB-Stick with a Kickstart file on it which let the installation run through pretty smooth but after the installation was done it got stuck after the loading bar with the 3 colors and Qubes 3.2 at the right end because it says "Filed to start Cryptography Setup" and starts the dracut command line. After that I can't do anything else which was suguested in this link which is from someone who managed to do it but I'm stuggeling with it.

When I should have run that "cp /root/kernel*.rpm /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/qubes/updates" it just said couldn't find the file or whatever and now I'm stuck at the dracut terminal or whatever it is.
For the installation I've prepared the USB-Stick with Rufus in DD mode. Then disabled the UEFI and ran legacy boot which worked fine. Added the line "ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg" behind "quite" after pressing the Tab key to open the commandline or whatever.
I've also added the file he put as an attachement with out changing anything beside the keyboard and the timezone.
then it ran through until it said to finish press the return key. I then opened the command line with Alt + F2 as told. Ran the command "mount /dev/sdb1 /root" with the spaces and the second command "cp /root/kernel*.rpm /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/qubes/updates" gave me that error with couldn't find it. Then I unmounted with "umount /root" and I pressed enter/return.
Since then I'm stuff with this.
The installation of qubes 4.0 won't really run because I can't get pass the "install qubes" or "Test this media & install qubes" because there it runes the installation until it comes to that screen with the giant Q in 3 colours and a small loading bar which only filles up to 10-20% and then stops.
I would so love to just install qubes on that PC for some tests before I go and get me an expensive computer on which it might never run. :/
Could someone please help me with this? I might be the biggest moron who is missing something important and I would really love to be part of the qubes community but for now it just looks as if qubes is kind of broken or at least the installation is.
Kind regards,
Nico
