I've recently run into some hardware problems in Qubes which are not
present in the equivalent Fedora version (F25). I have a feeling Xen may
be a likely culprit, just simply because of how Xen controls the use of
certain hardware for security reasons (VT-d, and such).
If it were possible to boot Qubes without Xen, it would be a step
towards narrowing down the source of the problem. (The inverse --
installing Fedora *with* Xen -- is another option too, I suppose.)
Disabling VT-x and VT-d in BIOS is easy enough to do, and can probably
identify firmware bugs caused by virtualization, for example. However
even with VT-x/VT-d disabled, Qubes still boots under Xen.
So I was wondering, is it possible to run the Qubes dom0 kernel directly
on the hardware instead of under Xen? How might one go about this? And
how much work would it involve?
