I got to install Qubes-os R4 rc2 release today

I do not know if it is R4 r2 qubes-os that corrects the problem. or that I added an option - modprobe.blacklist = bochs_drm - at boot (I'm in EFI) in the xen.efi file
I have the same problem as here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/linux-hvm-tips/
although the context is different, I also tried.
but, anaconda was really slow in being animations, 1fps or less

Closing this as "resolved." If you believe the issue is not yet resolved, or if anyone is still affected by this issue, please leave a comment, and we'll be happy to reopen this. Thank you.

Laptop: MSI GS63VR
This problem exists in RC1.0 RC 2.0 RC 3.0
Installation stuck at installing "storaged".
Tried both uefi mode and legacy mode, both failed.
Tried adding modprobe.blacklist = bochs_drm in efi conf and replace in grub, still failed.
Tried with/without luks, both failed
Tried lvm and btrfs, both failed
Thanks if someone could fix this issue, in great hurry...

I too have the problem described previpusly
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/linux-hvm-tips/
However in legacy mode, it doesn't work using modprobe.blacklist = bochs_drm, and installer won't start graphical mode…
In efi mode, it went into graphical mode but still stuck at storaged.

Still with us with 4.0rc3. Not reproducible with 3.2. Booting through UEFI, using the ISO image, written into a partition on the hard drive or onto an USB stick. Tried with all and with none additional components selected for installation. Tried with encrypted LVM and with non-encrypted regular ext4 target partition. Target partition 34GiB.
smartctl -a:

Worked around it by writing the iso onto a partition on a USB stick, extracting the EFI directory into a new FAT partition on the same stick, editing EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg to add rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0 video=vesa:off to one of the "kernel" lines and boot from the FAT partition.
Graphic card is nVIDIA GTX1060

Do you have also integrated graphic card?

[ampanasiuk]

Yes, it's an Intel.
