Hi Jim, Try changing the default boot entry to the following: [qubes-verbose] options=console=vga efi=attr=uc kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 nouveau.modeset=1 ramdisk=initrd.img Once you've installed Qubes successfully, try tuning your xen.cfg file from dom0 with the following configuration: [global] default=4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 [4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64] options=loglvl=all dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M iommu=on ucode=scan kernel=vmlinuz-4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-root rd.luks.uuid=luks-some-uuid rd.lvm.lv=qubes_dom0/root rd.lvm.lv=qubes_dom0/swap i915.alpha_support=1 acpi_osi=! rhgb rd.qubes.hide_all_usb ramdisk=initramfs-4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img Hope this help Yassine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
