@awokd:  I didn't see those troubleshooting resources...  sorry for 
troubling the group before using them


I'll spend some time with those resources and either come back to the 
group with a report of success or with some more specific questions.


Thank you so much for your help!

I need some pointers on what to look for or look at.  I'm happy to do 
some legwork, but I'm not sure where to start.  I'm hoping the community

have to give up on Qubes and look at a different solution (I think 
someone has cobbled up a Qubes-like config using KVM--maybe I'll give 
that a try).

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the note.  Not feasible to move to AMD.  The 3090 is factory 
supported for passthrough.  In fact, there's even a hack to make it 
virtualizable under KVM--unfortunately this hack does not appear to be 
portable to Xen.


I need some pointers on what to look for or look at.  I'm happy to do 
some legwork, but I'm not sure where to start.  I'm hoping the community 
will help me.  Otherwise Qubes is DOA on this system, and I'm going to 
have to give up on Qubes and look at a different solution (I think

that a try).


Thanks,

Hello,

Very excited to try Qubes on a shiny new system.  It looks like exactly 
what I have wanted for quite some time--a way to run most everything in 
its own VM.  I have done this in an incomplete and somewhat naive 
fashion using VMware Workstation (on Ubuntu) for a number of years, but 
it is inefficient both in terms of resources and how difficult it is to 
administer.  Qubes looks perfect for me.


Unfortunately, the install is hanging, and I would like some pointers on 
how to proceed.  I am aware my system is not on the HCL, but it is a 
well regarded (if recent) motherboard.  I am willing to invest some time 
to figure things out and maybe get it on the HCL.  While I'm fairly 
computer savvy, I haven't spent any time with Xen before.


I have tried both Qubes 4.0.4 and 4.1rc1.  Failure mode is the same in 
both cases.


What happens is that I get a whole bunch of information scrolling past 
me (I don't know how to capture this).  The messages go by really 
fast--I don't seem to see any errors--then I get a memory map followed 
by a message that Dom0 has all of the processors available, and there is 
a pause.  I believe at this point the system attempts to switch from 
text mode to graphics mode.  What happens is that the screen goes blank 
and stays that way.


Given my guess that this is somehow related to the switch from text mode 
to graphical mode, it may be significant to note that I happen to have 
two NVIDIA RTX GPU's on the system; the first one in the PCI chain is a 
3070, and other is a 3090.  I have enabled IOMMU in the BIOS as I am 
planning to run GPU passthru under some form of Linux--hopefully Qubes.


I have verified that the installation media is good by using it on a 
different machine where I do get to the graphical installer.


Thank you for an assistance you can provide.

Hi,

Nvidia graphics are notoriously difficult cards.  I suggest you try an
AMD if possible.

Nvidia passthrough?  Again, not easy, and some cards are actively
prevented by Nvidia from passthrough.

The IOMMU is required by Qubes, irrespective of any passthrough you
may want.

Best of luck,

   Mike.
