@bearyjd Thank you:)

Had the same issue on Thinkpad T14 Gen 1:

• Intel i7-10610U
• Nvidea Force MX330
• Intel Wifi 6 AX201

modprobe.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor rd.driver.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor got me to the installer.

Worked for me as well! (10th-gen t490)

I have the same problem with the following system:

Thinkpad T15 Gen 1:

Intel i7-10510U
Intel UHD 620
Nvidea Force MX330
Intel Wifi 6 AX201

While trying a fresh install of Qubes 4.2.0, the installer gets stuck at qubes freeze “xen_acpi_processor: Uploading Xen processor PM info”

modprobe.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor rd.driver.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor did not work for me.

An installation with Qubes 4.1.2 works without problems.

modprobe.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor rd.driver.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor got me to the installer.

That fixed it for me on a T14 with the same specs, except for the MX330

Worked for me on Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 with Intel i5-10210U and Intel Graphics.

i may be stupid, but how do i do that?? i have a T490 and the installation freezes

@DanielNerd Spam e when the system boots, it will open the grub args for you. Then just edit the line with the kernel params
