I check manual > for you to see what is up. I don't think it's an error with writing the iso to my usb because my other (older) laptop can boot from the live usb fine. My main laptop I'm trying to boot from is an Alienware M17X (which is on the compatibility list). So far, I've tried booting from the live iso and installed qubes with varying success. On my Alienware, I can't boot the live iso and get a blinking cursor booting the installed qubes. On an old Gateway laptop, I can boot the live iso fine, but the installed qubes reboots. Finally, on an old desktop, both the live and the installation yield a blinking cursor (with the live's appearing a few minutes after selecting from the GRUB menu). I'm about ready to just give up and wait until Qubes gets broader hardware compatibility and stability. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
