I modified BOOTx64.cgf commenting out the mapbs and noexitboot lines. 
Then, following your message, I also modified the efi=attr=uc 
into efi=no-rs.
The result does not change.

[qubes-users] How to access installer in rescue mode?

2019-12-17 Thread Robert M
I'm trying to install Qubes 4.0 on laptop that has UEFI firmware (without the 
Legacy option)

But I cannot get to the blue boot screen.

The official  "Troubleshooting UEFI related problems", requires  me to switch 
to tty2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) . But seems that there is no combination of keys that 
stops the boot process before it goes to the black screen.

Any hint or suggestion on how to get the installation to start would be much 
appreciated.
