The fact that all root.img are missing suggests you've completed initial setup already. Did it crashed the first time?

ghost · 2020-02-08T21:47:52Z

@marmarek 7-8/10 installs pass successfully, but sometimes...Do you need any other logs? I use only old thinkpads.

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T12:26:23Z

Similar issue here, same version.
I have tried:
1 ensuring no USB storage devices are plugged in
2 reinstalling, then shutting down and starting from a cold boot
3 disable creation of VMs personal, work, etc

Often my hardware hard locks up at the "setting up administration VM (dom0)" stage.

I have been doing a clean install each time.

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T12:35:42Z

Console:

EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_journal_check_start:61: Detected aborted journal
EXT4-fs (dm-4): Remounting filesystem read-only
/usr/libexec/initial-setup/firstboot-windowmanager: line 22: 2811 Bus error $BINARY "$@"

Then the usual error messages you'd expect when a live fs was switched to ro, e.g. from systemd-cat, firstboot-windowmanager, run-initial-setup.

marmarek · 2020-02-09T12:40:37Z

Any errors earlier? Maybe too little space on the disk?

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T12:55:36Z

Hello @marmarek - no errors earlier, I'm using the whole of a 240GB SSD.
I have just had the same error again with a clean install.

This time, after the fs is remounted ro several items segfault.

I don't see any other pertinent messages in the console, what are my next steps please?

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T13:17:10Z

Changed the SATA port and cable, now getting "delayed block allocation failed for inode "
Clearly not a Qubes issue, sorry.

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T14:37:55Z

@marmarek surprisingly I'm having the same issue on a new hard drive, different cable and port.
This USB image of Qubes has been verified at boot time and has installed correctly on another machine yesterday.
What would be next steps to investigate? The aborted journal error upstream with Redhat?

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T18:08:04Z

On a different hard drive and port, with no other drives connected, I have selected custom partitioning and chosen xfs rather than ext4. At the post install configuration my machine hard locks up when preparing the fedora-30 template. Is there a way to access the journal from the lockup?

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T18:12:22Z

If I reboot and try the post install stage again, I get (with xfs)
qubes-prefs: error: Failed to connect to qubesd service [errno 2] no such file or directory

I can then log in to a desktop with no qubes-manger etc.

There are lots of "failed to start Qubes OS daemon" entries in the journal.

raf-ets-github · 2020-02-09T18:46:16Z
