[qubes-users] Re: XPS 13 9310 - Installation fails at boot, Stuck at "xen is relinquishing vga console"

2020-12-06 Thread Fabrizio Romano Genovese
Someone mailed me some suggestions, but probably did it directly and the 
email does not show in the thread.

Anyway: 
-The installer can take a long time to show up, so I left the pc on 
overnight, but nothing happens. When I woke up I got the same black screen.
- Keyboard layout is US International
- My Chipset is Intel i7-1165G7, which comes with Intel Iris Xe Graphics. I 
have no other GPU on my pc.
- For the boot messages yes, I can take pictures. The output is very arid 
tho. I managed to get more stuff printed on screen by following this 
suggestion:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5165#issuecomment-511175580
...In which case output goes on forever until it says that boot failed.

I'll try to take some pictures of this later on today!

So, a small update: I downloaded the most recent 4.1 alpha ISO from 
https://openqa.qubes-os.org hoping that a maybe a newer xen version/linux 
kernel would have helped. The installer freezes anyway, and selecting the 
verbose mode in the boot menu I get exactly the same message as before 
before the black screen. I'm a bit at a loss here, any suggestion is 
appreciated!
