Qubes OS version:

Failed on both 3.2 and 4.0R2

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

In the installer part where you select which disks you want to install to,
change from lvm to the BtrFs option in the combobox.

Continue creating your partitions as normal.

Expected behavior:

A bootable OS.

Actual behavior:

A underline-cursor on a black screen immediately after bios screen. We never see the boot-loader.

It looks like this is an unfinished feature that nobody supports / owns. Much like #3327, maybe this option should just be removed?

According to #2294 (comment) it is fixed in 4.0-rc4+. For 3.2 it is still an issue and should be addressed in 3.2.1.

marmarek added a commit to marmarek/qubes-installer-qubes-os that referenced this issue Mar 27, 2018
setDefaultPartitioning is called when executing kickstart "autopart"
command - which is the case if one choose to not change disk
partitioning. But in manual partitioning there is also an option to
start with automatic layout and in that case setDefaultPartitioning
isn't called at all. Which results in failed partitioning (missing '/'
and bootable partition).

Similar thing is already fixed in master commit
378cfc4.
