Folk,
I am trying to install 4.0.1 on a new HP laptop model 15t-da000. It has one
250G SSD and one 1 TB SATA drives, i7 cpu, intel graphics. I have overwritten
the Windows 10 default installation with KDE neon (ubuntu based), using about
100G of the 250G SSD. I am trying to make a dual boot with 4.0.1 on the
remaining 130-ish Gig of the SSD.
The installation seemed to start fine, though the default file system format of "LVM thin client"
would not work, so I chose LVM. Installation chugged along until the end when I got the error "failed to
install boot loader. To you want to continue? It will not be bootable..." or something to that effect.
I indicated "yes" just to see what would happen, and it completed.
On reboot, neither Qubes nor KDE neon would come up, no grub menu came up, and
no explicit EFI locations came up in the BIOS boot menu -- though the two disk
drives were mentioned (and would not boot). So, I reinstalled KDE neon, at
which point the grub menu came up and gave me both Qubes and KDE options.
Just for giggles, I chose Qubes, and the initial config screen came up. I
chose the default config, and it gave me the error that the kernel file was not
found and hung. KDE neon comes up fine.
I tried to do an installation again, only I chose "standard partition" instead of "LVM."
It didn't seem to make a difference -- it still hung at "failed to install boot loader." I stopped
it at that point because I had some work to do and didn't want to have to reinstall the ubuntu partition.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Boot Qubes from rescue mode on the USB. Rebuild Qubes' grub and
initramfs. It will be something like "sudo grub2-mkconfig -o
/mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/grub.cfg". Then reboot and try the Qubes option
again from the grub menu.
