Is it possible that you sent brief notes about how you modified the android cd in order to make it installable ? A lot of persons are apparently digging through this problem and it would help a lot. There is also a qubes issue related to that: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2233 This would be greatly appreciated. > > I created a standalone HVM, booted linux from a CD to create ext2 > filesystem and installed legacy grub.
