When I boot the Qubes installation media (I dd'd it to a USB stick per the instructions on the site) it initializes Xen, then the kernel starts booting (Linux penguins, etc.), and then it goes to a black screen and there's no activity. F1 does nothing. My hardware is a laptop with an i7 8700K and an Nvidia 1060, so it smelled like nouveau driver problems to me. However, normally one works around that by editing the kernel line in grub with nouveau.modeset=0 and I have no grub! I decided to try editing the grub.conf in the isolinux directory of the ISO by extracting the iso, editing, then regenerating the ISO. Someone on IRC was nice enough to provide me a log from the official build of the ISO so I used the proper switches/etc.. I booted that in a VM to make sure it was OK as a sanity check, then wrote that to the USB stick (which takes like 26 minutes, it's USB 2.. not fun) and it stopped booting after attaching the USB stick as a SCSI device, not even quite getting to the black screen. AFAIK my hardware requires a 4.18 kernel and from what they said on IRC there's nothing newer than 4.14 in Qubes anyway, but since it tries to boot I don't know. I throw myself upon your mercy, Qubes community/developers.
