It is PCIe NVMe RAID, so Intel RST powered. It is skylake, so I don't think it 
is supported in this version of the kernel in NVMe mode. I believe SATA disks 
would be though.

no devices listed in mdstat or /dev/nvme*

It shows up, but it immediately returns to the EFI selection menu when I try it.

I found that page through Google before asking. No joy from any of that.

In legacy mode, Qubes does not boot from the USB media. It tries but it 
immediately reboots my laptop.

I did not try: efibootmgr -v -c -u -L Qubes -l /EFI/qubes/xen.efi -d /dev/sda 
-p 1
I used the last option string. 

My laptop is new with the latest BIOS.

I appreciate the help, but I realized that I'm going to have to wait until 
Qubes has more up to date kernel / software. It doesn't let me shutdown. The 
light stays lit and something keeps it HOT until it runs the battery down. It 
doesn't come back from suspend to disk or suspend to ram.

I need to get it functional for work, as sad as I am to be limited to user 
security.

Qubes 3.1 was no help.

Fedora 24-1.2 installed unless I select RAID 0 for the volume group. I am going 
to attempt the same with Qubes 3.2-RC3.

I need to this this working this week, even if I have to use Fedora instead of 
Qubes :(
