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?

With the 4.0rc5 installer, it never gets to the option to edit the chainloader command line. It just says X failed, press ENTER, and then nothing when i press ENTER. The log shows it looping trying to start things. But the kernel is not obviously OOPSing.

What to try next?
