So I tried several Times over the last weeks to install Qubes 4.2.4 on my Lenovo X Carbon Gen 7 which has 16 GO Ram.
Basically I tried to do so on an external SSD drive. It failed despite trying different USB key and tweak that I found working for some people ( adding some lines in Grub). Did not work. I finally bought 2 new USB key and it worked to some extent. Problem is Qubes does not have access to internet ( WiFi). When I plug an ethernet cable it freezes. Since this should be related to the sys USB or something like that I decided to partition my computer hard drive. Now it again freezes at any moment after the installer appears. I m starting to drive crazy. I tried to add the cpufreq=xen:hwp=off command on Grub does not do anything. I tried chatGPT . Its advices did not work.
Could anyone help ? Because I really want to use Qubes but now I m on the verge of quitting.

I afinally a fixed it.
If anyone is in this situation i applied the solution suggested in
Without applying the 3. Because it was causing a crash as well
« When booting the system from USB, press the “e” key to edit the selected boot entry (usually “Install Qubes OS R4.2.x”).
- Add the
nomodesetparameter at the end of the line starting withmodule2 /images/pxeboot/unlinuz. This tells the kernel not to load graphic drivers until the boot process is complete, which may resolve issues with incompatible drivers. - Replace
quietwithplymouth.enable=0to disable the graphical Plymouth boot screen and display text-based messages during boot, which may help identify errors. - Add the
efi=attr=ucparameter at the end of the line starting withmultiboot2 /images/pxeboot/xen-gzto help with potential UEFI-related issues. - Add the parameters
modprobe.blacklist=xen_acpi_processor rd.driver.blacklist=xen_acpi_processorto the line starting withmodule2 /images/pxeboot/unlinuzto block thexen_acpi_processormodule, which in some cases has caused installation hangs on ThinkPad laptops. - Press F10 or Ctrl+X to boot with the modified parameters. »
