Re: [qubes-users] Qubes refuses to boot
Did you check your bios settings? w/e awesomebunny said, check for usb settings or external drive settings. maybe something somewhere. and besides not burning it with rufus don't know what else to suggest. never had those live usb issues. only used it twice on two diff machines. one I built for qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

My main laptop I'm trying to boot from is an Alienware M17X (which is on the compatibility list). So far, I've tried booting from the live iso and installed qubes with varying success. On my Alienware, I can't boot the live iso and get a blinking cursor booting the installed qubes. On an old Gateway laptop, I can boot the live iso fine, but the installed qubes reboots. Finally, on an old desktop, both the live and the installation yield a blinking cursor (with the live's appearing a few minutes after selecting from the GRUB menu). I'm about ready to just give up and wait until Qubes gets broader hardware compatibility and stability. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
