  remark: |
Needs published EFI workaround to boot, Nvidia workaround not to 
OOPSing during install. I got the touchscreen working, once. USB-C does 
not work at all, but might be broken hardware. Touchpad palm suppression 
stinks, and the "Fn-f9" key to turn the touchpad off doesn't work; I had 
to bind a script to "WIN-f9" to turn it off before I could type without 
the cursor jumping around all the time. External-monitor config is not 
remembered from one connection to the next, and always prefers 
60Hz/reduced-resolution over 30Hz/full-resolution. I had to configure 
enough RAM for two displays, in X, manually. Alcor Micro AU6621 MMC/SD 
slot did not work with 4.x kernels, but works under a 5.x kernel. Camera 
works. Intel 7265 wifi needs non-free "iwl" firmware. Have not tried 
Bluetooth. Suspend/resume works. "Fn" screen brightness, volume control 
keys work. Have not tried the Nvidia GM107/960M GPU. M.2 NVMe works.

[qubes-users] Re: control boot line in installer?

I have installed Debian 9.3 on this machine, and it works if I blacklist

first.)  But I don't see any way to control the boot line during 
installation.  ("E" only shows me a chainloader command line.)


Also, when choosing where to install, the installer seems to offer only 
the whole disk, but I have partitions already in place, currently 
formatted for swap and ext4, that I would like for the installer to 
overwrite.  How do I tell the Qubes installer to use those?


Might the 4.0 beta installer deal better with these details?


With the 4.0rc5 installer, it never gets to the option to edit the 
chainloader command line.  It just says X failed, press ENTER, and then 
nothing when i press ENTER.  The log shows it looping trying to start 
things. But the kernel is not obviously OOPSing.


What to try next?
