Thank you so much, Qubesmlu for your feedback. As I wanted to be sure to buy a 
laptop fully compatible with Qubes, I decided to get another version with the 
i5-6440HQ CPU and 16 GB of RAM (it is on the HCL). I don't know if it's 
upgradable to 32 GB, but 16 seems to me enough to run Qubes quite smoothly.

Good morning everybody,

I'm back from holidays and I have some days left to restore my QubesOS system 
before I come back to work. As Frédéric suggested, I tried to find a separate 
partition containing xen.efi and conf files but I couldn't find it. The only 
partitions I found are the virtual partitions of my vms, their backup 
partitions, and a big main partition with no file in /boot/efi . I think that 
it's due to the fact that my QubesOS is installed on an external SSD storage.
Would anyone have a suggestion on how to recover /boot/efi  directory or should 
I do a clean install ?

Thank you a lot !
Chempes

2020-07-22 Thread 'Chempes Amt' via qubes-users
Thank you so much for the answer and the suggestion, Donoban.
I booted on a live version of Fedora and I was able to mount my QubesOs SSD, 
which is really good. My problem now is that there is no more folders nor files 
in /boot/efi. I think that I need to regenerate the entire efi directory and I 
don't know how to do. Could you or someone else explain me how to do that ?
Here are files and directories of my /boot :

[qubes-users] Stuck in kernel panic, cannot rescue my system with anaconda

2020-07-21 Thread 'Chempes Amt' via qubes-users
Hi everybody,

[I'm sorry if I make some mistakes while writing in English but it isn't my 
mother tongue. I'll try to explain my problem as easy as I can.]

My QubesOS is installed on an external SSD storage (I know it's not ideal but . 
In order to make my computer recognize Qubes, I have to copy manually the 
xen.cfg and the xen.efi files at every kernel update (as here : 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#boot-device-not-recognized-after-installing
 ).

The problem is that at last update I forgot to change the xen.efi file version 
and that now I'm stuck with a kernel panic every time I try to boot on my 
QubesOS.

I tried to rescue my OS with anaconda but I'm encountering two problems :

- whenever I choose my external storage for booting, there is no grub menu and 
Qubes boots automatically. So I cannot access any troubleshooting or rescue 
shell.

- I downloaded an iso image of Qubes in order to rescue my system but it seems 
that anaconda --rescue can't recognize any linux partitions because of this : 
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5609

- I tried by downloading an iso of Fedora 32 (server version) but anaconda 
couldn't recognize my QubesOS partitions.

Would anyone have any suggestions which could allow me to rescue my system, 
please ?

Thank you !
