You did set it to HVM and turn off memory balancing, right? I was using a debian-9 AppVM, but don't think that would make any difference. You might also try reinstalling the fedora-29-minimal template again. Maybe there was a recent bug fix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
