Unable to Install Qubes OS on System76 LemP13

Hello, I’ve been trying to install Qubes OS on my System76 Lemur Pro laptop and for the life of me, I’m just unable to do it.

I have disabled Secure Boot and tried flashing two different USB drives with both Balena Etcher and dd, and still keep getting “Booting from drive failed: verify it contains a 64-bit UEFI OS” after restarting that laptop.

The drives boot up just fine on another laptop. I have also tried booting a Fedora Live USB and it also booted up just fine on the Lemur. This issue seems to be specifically related to Qubes OS and this Lemur Pro 13 laptop.

I have tried both MBR and GPT partition schemes.

Any ideas what could be done to fix this? Thank you.

Try using different USB ports.

I’ve tried all 3 available ports (including 1 USB-C).

How about installing Qubes OS 4.2.3 or earlier versions from a download mirror?
