maybe a silly question but can you boot another os from usb drive?
Yes, I can boot other linux distros like Debian and Mint perfectly fine from my
USB. Qubes installed to my external HDD (I also installed it to another USB,
but both have the same result) doesn't show the GRUB menu, only a blinking
cursor that's unresponsive to keyboard input.
When I tried the Qubes live image, I can select an option from the GRUB menu
and it tries to boot, but fails with the following (made the drive with Rufus):
Warning: /dev/disk/by-label/Qubes-R3.1-alpha1.1-x86_64-LIVE does not exist
Warning: /dev/mapper/live-rw does not exist
I also tried to boot from the installation on the extrnal HDD on another
(significantly older w/ winXP) laptop and it repeatedly reboots during the boot
process (after the GRUB menu, but before entering the LUKS passphrase).
However, it does boot up the live image completely fine.
I have had many problems with rufus fucking up linux iso writing.
Try using dd to write the iso in linux (NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL - Use
/dev/disk/by-id to do writing instead of /dev/sdX or else you could
easily nuke your data)
Whats the model of your laptop you want to install on? I check manual
for you to see what is up.
