I just downloaded qubes, and now I’m installing it, its fine until it shows up with a “/dev/root does not exist”
How can I fix this

Hi Anon4 - and welcome to the forum! 
It’s not clear to me, if this is the initial boot from the install medium - or if it’s a boot from the drives on the machine :-/
I also can’t tell if you have started/installed the default kernel or the kernel-latest … are you willing to share information like that?
It looks like you tried
sudo yum update --enablerepo=qubes-vm-r3.2-current-testing
– any reason it’s r3.2 and not something like r4.2?

Thanks for replying
This is the initial boot from the installation medium
I’m installing qubes R4.2.4 which I believe is the default kernel

Hi Anon4
Have you tried the last entry:
Install Qubes OS R4.2.4 using kernel-latest (6.12.11.1.qubes.fc37)
?
Can you share some info about the machine you are trying to install Qubes OS to? – eg. CPU/GPU vendor?

Hi Anon4
“i5 7400T” … that’s an Intel CPU … right?
How did you write the install medium? Using dd?
Btw: 8G memory is possible … but less than recommended. :-/
