I just tried installing Qubes 4.0 on a Lenovo P52 (out of the box, no firmware updates) and it didn't even boot the distribution media off USB (after trying several USB ports; there are at least three separate controllers in this thing). I'm getting exactly 4 lines of mesages during boot and as it is a 4k display I would have had to take a photo of it to enlarge whatever was written there (so I can't really tell you what I saw).
My first suspicion is the RAM; I ordered it with 128GB to keep it from even thinking about swapping. Is there a limit on in the current distribution? The firmware has old bugs I encountered on P70 already; I turned off secure boot and reordered the EFI boot entries resulting in a machine that is not even displaying the Lenovo banner after turning it on so I have enough time to think about the errors of my ways (kids, don't try this at home -- there aren't any replacement mainboards in Europe and a "repair" will take 6 weeks so you have to force IBM UK into calling it a late DOA if it happens). Does anyone have an idea how to convince it to boot? Achim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
