When I boot the Qubes installation media (I dd'd it to a USB

the instructions on the site) it initializes Xen, then the kernel
starts booting (Linux penguins, etc.), and then it goes to a black

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.
Nobody has a single thought?
Might the solution be putting your BIOS into Legacy mode?

In my case switching the HDD from AHCI mode to IDE mode seemed to
get past this blank screen and got me to the install screen.
I had exactly this problem when I installed Qubes. Searching this mail
list found the answer. (You have to edit the installation image, or
mount the image, edit it and build a new image for installation.)
I think the issue is he edited grub.cfg but has no legacy mode, which
means grub won't be used. Yushatak, try using that same procedure to
edit xen.cfg instead. It will be somewhere under boot/efi/EFI/qubes.
