I apologize for repeating a question, but I am new to Google groups and cannot figure out (after hours researching) how to post a reply to an existing question :(
The question here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/qubes-users/efi$20install%7Csort:date/qubes-users/Kt66UCWorrI/dngILbv-HAAJ describes exactly what I'm seeing. To summarize: I've installed the 4.0.1 .iso onto a usb drive. When I boot that drive, I see the following on a black screen: " Xen 4.8.4 (c/s ) EFI loader Using configuration file 'BOOTX64.cfg' vmlinuz: 0x000... initrd.img: 0x000... 0x000:0x00:0x02.0x0: ROM: 0x10000 bytes at 0x4e52a018 0x0000:0x39:0x00.0x1: ROM: 0xd800 bytes at 0x4e4b5018 " That's it, no errors or any other text, no way to get out of that screen other than to force a shut down. The one reply (from user "awokd") in that thread points here: https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qubes-os.org%2Fdoc%2Fuefi-troubleshooting%2F%23installation-freezes-before-getting-to-anaconda-qubes-40&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEl7BS2bWTu5WdbqhuVTcmy_FAwsQ I've seen that and tried to follow it, but do not understand what it is asking me to do... I am able to comment out the mapbs and noexitboot lines in the [qubes-verbose] section of EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg, but it is not at all clear what is meant in step 2 of this section: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#change-installer-kernel-parameters-in-uefi what the following means exactly: "Edit your xen config (xen.cfg/BOOTX64.cfg) changing the kernel key to add your kernel parameters on the boot entry of your choice" Specifically this bit: "...changing the kernel key to add your kernel parameters on the boot entry of your choice" Does it mean something more than commenting out the mapbs and noexitboot lines in the [qubes-verbose] section? I'm guessing yes, as I get the same results booting the modified usb installer (black screen with the text shown above), but I can't find any indication what the "kernel parameters" I need to add might be, where I'd find them, or where I'd add them... I'm completely stuck, and cannot find any info other than the one link from awokd pointing to a doc I can't seem to interpret. Is there some more detailed information somewhere I can be pointed to that might help explain what I'm seeing and how to fix this? I apologize again for the duplicate post, and look forward to reading any replies. Thanks!
