Thanks ! With the help of Awokd I managed to boot each version by using "xen-pciback.hide=(PCI address of the discrete GPU)" and the small grub fix for 3.2.
I was planning on using 4rc3 but the VM setup on first boot always fails to create sys-net because of a libxenlight error. I can still start my session but no internet access, same error each time I try to start sys-net and no VM manager to be found. So I decided to use 3.2 and it works like a charm, just needs some more ram and all will be perfect :) --- Emil Novik -------- Original Message -------- On Dec 30, 2017, 21:44, Ivan Ivanov wrote: > Hi Emil, thank you very much for your report. > Regarding Qubes 3.2 : at the Qubes HCL list I wrote: > > "after Qubes R3.2 installation it cant boot - cant reach GRUB Boot Menu > because MBR (or GRUB) is corrupted.
