Do you also do the switch? > In 3.2, Qubes installed OK from an UEFI boot, but it installed itself as the first and only boot option in the bios. I was able to add back the original UEFI boot options in the bios, and then use the F12 to interrupt before boot, and select Qubes from the one-time menu list. The best thing to do is to backup your EFI partition first, and make a note of the bios settings regarding boot up and UEFI. You should be able to boot in UEFI mode for Windows, but be able to use Legacy boot for Qubes by interrupting the bios with F12 and then selecting Qubes there. But as I say, I haven't managed to get there yet. I had to fix the EFI partition this time too - for some reason the installer messes up the EFI partition type on the disk, and the bios doesn't recognise any boot partition. I had to boot from a cdrom and use fdisk to change the EFI partition type to EFI (which fdisk thought it was anyway!). I had rc3 running fine, all in UEFI mode, so I think it will all work eventually. Good luck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
