Sorry, the described problem came from secure boot no tbeing disabled (I thoiught i had read somewhere that this is not necessary in 4.2, bu ti most probably got this wrong). Now, with secure boot disabled, i see considerable progress:
- when trying the last grub option with the latest kernel, i get a anaconda50 error in line19: the error messages suggests that the inst.stage2 or inst.repo boot parameters are missing - when trying just the second (default) option in the grub menu (test medium and start), i can access the GUI installation program. Here i see the following problems: -- minor: all help options seem to be still empty -- while i can select all needed options in th eleft column (keyboard, time zone, users/passwords), and i can choose the target partition as well, selecting the source seems to be tricky. I see the name of the usb ISO: LABEL=QUBES-R4-2-0-RC4-X86-64 however, the check (German: überprüfen) button right to it seems to have no effect. Also, when I leave that option by choosing the blue finished (german: fertig) button on the tope left, after a short checking again i see the triangle that there is something to be changed. Also, the software selection below that option is not selectable but also has a triangle attached to it. i was not able to solve these problems. When I instead tried to install version 4.1.-2, i was able to run thru all the installation. the installation source medium was recognised instantly and i did not see any triangle (a problem must have been introduced here between 4.1-2 and 4.2-rc4). However, as my target for my qubes installation was a 1TB WD Red external sata ssd drive, i expected to be able to boot into it by using the thinkpad F12 boot manager menu. indeed, after rebboting and pressing F12, i was able to select the ssd like always, but it had no eeffect, so i was not able to boot from that device. I hope that helps. As mentioned, I have a Lenovo thinkpad P12 2nd generation.
