Yassine I have a Dell Precision 5520 like yours except mine has the Xeon E3-1505M v6 processor, so I think your solution should work on my Dell. I have not been able to get it to work. Problem : Qubes 4.0 Installer hangs at anaconda screen. I made the install USB using Rufus 3.1 in dd mode. I have tried and tried to edit the BOOTX64.cfg on the USB install drive but it is write protected and I have not been able to writew changes using several different approaches. I booted UEFI, The results of the install: message : "Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network" message : "44.288997 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck fot 23s! [Xorg:1383] I then made a ISO mode install USB using Rufus and edited the BOOTX64.cfg as follows: [global] default=qubes-verbose [qubes-check] options=console=none kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 quiet rhgb rd.live.check ramdisk=initrd.img [qubes] options=console=none kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 quiet rhgb ramdisk=initrd.img [qubes-verbose] options=console=vga efi=attr=uc # noexitboot=1 # mapbs=1 kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 ramdisk=initrd.img [qubes-rescue] options=loglvl=all kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 rescue ramdisk=initrd.img I booted the ISO USB Legacy, At Blue Qubes screen, Trouble Shooting, TAB, added nouveau.modeset=0 The results of the install: message : "Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network" message : "X starting failed, aborting installation" message : "The installation cannot continue the system will be rebooted Press ENTER to continue" Yassine, I have searched high and low on the internet and your 5520 / Qubes sucess is rare. There is very little discussion of this specific combination. If you could Please give me some guidance and edit my BOOTX64 above to match yours verbatim, I can try that.
