Hi Marek, thank you very much for your support, you were right, i've followed your instructions and i was able to boot back into my qubes :) now from time to time what happens is that, if i'm not booting from a completely shut down system (cold boot) i receive an error about buffer being too small and xen doesn't boot. but that's a minor issue, as long as it boots up in the end. again, thank you very much -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
