uname -r says version 4.4.14-11 Now I noticed some things. I tried the Debian way to get GRUB running when encrypted, but Qubes is completely different. I can't find the file that I edited on Debian. I don't see any choice. In BIOS selecting the Qubes efi to load is the only option. Which made me think, what if I'd look into that drive? Booted into Qubes, I ran Thunar as root (the only way to view inside /boot/efi) Once in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes I only see the 4.4.14-11 kernel.. I noticed /boot however had 2 grub directories, 1 loader folder and all kernels installed. Looking at the files it seems like GRUB should be functional if it would show up. My /boot is on the same encrypted partition as /(root). Is it possible that GRUB can't be loaded because it is on an encrypted drive? I had to manually edit GRUB config with Debian Jessie too in order to use GRUB. Secondly, what if I manually copy the new kernel over the old one in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes and edit the xen.cfg to match the version number? Would that work? Or is there a very high chance of breaking my system? I might try this myself after taking a backup. I'll do some more research the coming few days and try some stuff in the weekend. If you have answers/solutions, let me know in time. :) Thank you for your help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
