I tried to change that file multiple different ways. Ultimately, I was able to edit the ISO file with GVIM on windows but then I got the dracut timeout error when I tried to boot from it in UEFI. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The 5530 does not allow legacy boot from internal hard drives. I have a 5530 with similar specs. I can install from legacy mode off a USB to the hard drive, but once I restart it wont boot. You MUST install from UEFI as far as I know. A few people have gotten it to work but I have not gotten the installer to run so far. There is another thread with details on how to make it work. Search for precision 5520 in qubes-users and read that thread. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

So I attempted to use ISOmaster and it worked fine, however whenever I tried to write the file in rufus it wouldnt give me the option of creating it in DD mode. No matter how I save this ISO after editing, it never allows me to write it in DD mode like the original ISO. I can still attempt to boot but it takes me to the "dracut initqueue error" and fails. The issue here is getting the ISO created properly and after 100 tries on multiple systems, USBs etc i still havent managed to get it working. I've tried every procedure I found online and I have not gotten it to install other than on USB legacy mode, but then it wont boot from the internal drive in legacy mode. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Thanks Awokd. I see you responding to a lot of threads and its greatly appreciated. I'll try with debian and let you all know the results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Updated HCL report - Dell Precision 5520
Thanks for your help. The issue here is that I cannot get to the loader. If i boot to USB it works after the kernel params listed above, but this model cannot do legacy boot to internal drives. I have to do UEFI install but UEFI fails before I get to anaconda. I need to be able to change the original ISO somehow to add the kernal params to turn off nouveau but because ISO is a read only file, it doesn't work. I tried copying the files to a folder, then making an ISO from the folder, but that method does the same thing. It will attempt to boot, then either go to the "dracut timeout" screen, or it just goes to a blank screen with no further activity. Very frustrating, since I bought this laptop specifically to use Qubes, now im finding out that I can't install it. Is there any way to edit the qubes ISO file so I dont have the nouveau driver activated? Every method ive tried tells me "read only file" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hope this helps! Thanks for your assistance. I have attempted these options but I am not able to get it installed on UEFI. I cannot install it on legacy mode because the system does not permit booting from internal drives on legacy mode. My system will not even get to the installer because i cannot edit the xen.cfg or boot.cfg files unless i burn to USB as an ISO. When I burn with DD (rufus) it wont let me edit those files at all because theyre "read only" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
