Hi,
I tried to install Qubes on my Lenovo Ideapad 5 with following specifications:

a) Ryzen-7 4700U
b) 512 GB SSD
c) 16 GB SDR4 RAM
d) Host OS: Windows 10 Home

During the installation process, I received an error message that says, “Pane is dead”. I tried multiple times with 3 different Qubes ISOs and 4 different USB drives with various sizes from 16gb, 32gb, 64gb, and 128gb. All ends up with the same message “Pane is dead”.

a) I follow the BIOS setup and signature verification processes from the course.
b) No other error message like hardware comparability issues was displayed.
c) Until installation process halted by “Pane is dead” message, it seems the process was going smoothly.

Please help me to solve this issue, so I can complete the course successfully.

Hi!
Are you trying to install it in a partition in your host or in a USB as a live system?

Let me know.

It did not even passed the installation process to give me an option to select a drive on my system or USB.

Hi!

Then maybe your system is not compatible, can you check if it’s on the list?
