Hi, i'm trying to install Qubes for the first time, i am a total newb but eager
to learn more about this interesting OS.
So i attempted an installation to my old wiped laptop and got this message
Missing features: IOMMU/VT-d/AMD-Vi, Interrupt Remapping
And the warning that Qubes might not work properly. Does that mean that my
machine is not able to run Qubes at all?? Is there anything that i may can do
to make it work somehow?
To be honest, i did proceed with the installation, which completed normally
without any issue but then the system was and is not able to boot Qubes. It
leads to some Fail/error messages while booting. Is it because of the lacking
hardware?
Is there any hope for my laptop and Qubes?
Before giving up, go check your BIOS settings for the required features
listed above. In all likelihood you may actually have the necessary
hardware but have them disabled in BIOS by default.
Without knowing *exactly* what system processor and chipset you have we
can not give you any better advice than to check these settings.
Try enabling those settings in BIOS, and then try to install again.
Failing that, you might check to see if you have the latest vendor BIOS
update. Take notes on what it says about your specific hardware, and
let us know what happens.
Thanks for the answer,
Well, the laptop is a samsung model NP300V5A
Intel Core i5 2410M / 2.30 GHz ( Dual-Core )
with a GeForce GT 520M
I looked up the BIOS settings as you suggested, there's nowhere something like
the missing features. Only VT-x which says 'Supported'. Its Phoenix BIOS v.08F1
Not sure how to update this, i must look it up and ask again. Also most of its
options seem to be locked by the manufacturer
Well you can take a look here:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/np300v5a
I didn't see VT-d listed anywhere on the spec page. There is a BIOS
installer ver 1.0.0.2 listed, but from way back in 2011. If you don't
have the VT-d hardware there isn't much point to installing Qubes.
