Hi, delayed thanks for your feedback. I guess this should work, and one could probably replace the kernel rpms (to be installed) with the newer ones, but the hurdle for me was to get a valid iso image back to the usb stick .. [I assume this is simple, provided one knows how to ..]
Anyways, time for the screwdriver .. and I can confirm that installing vanilla qubes 3.2 on a supported laptop and upgrading the kernel to 4.8.x (from the unstable repo) resulted in a (mostly) working system. The first boot in the target hardware led to several failures of service VMs not starting, as the wrong PCI devices had been passed through to them. Fortunately, some qvm-pci commands and a reboot later, this was resolved. At present, I have working graphics, Ethernet and WIFI. Sound is working as well. After waking up from sleep, the network is gone, but I am optimistic that this can be sorted out. (Had this problem in the past ..) I will report for the HCL when this is really up and running. For future reference, it would be great though if there were a howto for making an updated install usb / image ... Thanks, Stefan Am Freitag, 13.
