Qubes OS release
Qubes OS 4.2.0
Brief summary
My journey started here:
Details about my hardware (which is not on the HCL list)

Black screen regardless of which option I select when trying to install Qubes OS.
I had the issue with 4.1.2, but could finally successfully install when selecting:
Install Qubes OS R4.1.2 - Latest kernel
Press e to modify booting
On the line:
multiboot2 /images/pxeboot/xen.gz
add:
dom0_max_vcpus=16
dom0_vcpus_pin
I tried the same with 4.2.0, without any luck.
I also tried (on the second line): acpi=off nomodeset=0, without any luck :/
When booting & selecting:
Install Qubes OS
Test media
Troubleshooting
Editing & adding:
vga=,keep
I can see that the last two lines were (otherwise, just a black screen):
xen hypervisor allocated kernel memory conflicts with E820
(XEN) Hardware Dom0 halted: halting machine
Then the screen freezes, nothing becomes responsive, and I must manually restart the PC.
When booting & selecting:
Install Qubes OS - Latest kernel
The last 3 lines I get are:
(XEN) Freed 644kB init memory
about to get started…
(XEN) Hardware Dom0 halted: halting machine
Then the screen freezes, nothing becomes responsive, and I must manually restart the PC.
Steps to reproduce
Boot & select the right "USB"
Expected behaviour
Boot with the 64 threads and install without any faults!
Actual behavior
Black screen, but modifying the booting by adding:
vga=,keep
allows me to see the generated errors.
