I've had Qubes installed previously on my old motherboard, an ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X, now I'm seeing if it'll run on my new ASRock Taichi x570. I'm able to boot from USB via legacy, I get the first GUI install screen menu, but when I select the option to install, I get an eternal black screen with a blinking underscore cursor, no other text prior to this. This USB stick is the same one I used to successfully install 4.01 previously on my old motherboard (I know 4.03 is the latest version, I'd rather update from the OS when it's installed). I've looked at several threads about black screens during install, none of them seem to fit with what I'm experiencing. Thanks!

I've worked out what that screen is for, apparently it's analyzing the hardware, I just let it run for over twenty minutes...I'm guessing that what I have is too new for that release, then again I'm seeing similar set ups in the Hardware Compatibility List that are using Qubes OS 4.0.  I suppose I'll go through with whipping up the 4.03 ISO and see if anything changes.
