Have exactly same issue, but on totally different hardware. Last time I checked on Thinkpad P50, Xeon E3-1505H, 16Gb RAM, 256Gb NVME (tried also 512Gb NVME). I've noticed that sometimes you still can install CLR if you wont choose any additional bundles and minimally adjust installer settings. mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /tmp/install-3561097583 ext4: no such file or directory.

As a workaround, I found out that if you set all your configuration options in installer and then save it to .yaml file, after installation fail you can start installer via -c /root/clr-installer.yaml and then you can succesfully install it. For GUI installation there was some key to use predefined installation config too.

I encountered the same bug while installing on a brand new Beelink MiniS 12 with an N95 intel and NVME storage:

mount /dev/sda2 /tmp/install-291973698 ext4: no such file or directory

Managed to pass the installation step by not installing any extra packages. Thanks @RussianE39 for the explanation on how to pass the error.

Also verified issue against intel NUC11PAKi5 (kvm). Work around by @RussianE39 didn't solve the problem for me.
