You might need to mount the installer from another machine and edit
directly. I know I've seen more detailed instructions somewhere, try
searching this mailing list for nouveau + 4.0 (or 3.2 if that's what
you're using).

There's a manual/custom option in there somewhere that lets you specify
partition layout yourself.

It's similar to 3.2's.

[qubes-users] control boot line in installer?

2018-03-07 Thread Nathan Myers
I am trying to install on an ASUS ZenBook UV501 (Skylake, HD530, NV960M, 
NVME SSD). The installer kernel OOPSes because it loads the nouveau 
driver module, and gets confused by the bumblebee/optimus hardware 
arrangement.


I have installed Debian 9.3 on this machine, and it works if I blacklist 
the nouveau module during boot. (I.e. the i915 module needs to load 
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?

Thanks,

Nathan Myers
