I just had a similar problem trying to install 3.2. The fix was to just add nomodeset to the end of the grub config line. I.e., this is the default grub line when you hit tab: mboot.c32 xen.gz ocnsole=none --- vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R3.2-x86_64 i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 quiet rhgb --- initrd.img Just add nomodeset after rhgb like so: mboot.c32 xen.gz ocnsole=none --- vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R3.2-x86_64 i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 quiet rhgb nomodeset --- initrd.img The graphical installer worked fine after that. This appears to be an installer issue only. The booted system worked fine as far as graphics go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
