Hello all, I'm trying to install Qubes on a Dell XPS 7390 (the XPS 13 developer edition). I've found someone else with similar issues in a reddit thread [1] made a few days ago. I'm u/qubes-xps13.
# Hardware Dell XPS 13 (7390) - Intel i7 (10th generation) - 16GB RAM - all the necessary virtualization features (according to Qubes docs) - only UEFI boot; afaik there isn't a way to boot in legacy mode # Software Version Qubes 4.0.2-rc3 # Problem I've been unable to get to the GUI installer screen. # Things I've tried The original cause of the crash: ``` IO-APIC + timer doesn’t work ``` Following [2], I decided to tinker with the boot options on the USB installer medium. I first tried `noapic`, got an `x2apic` error, then added `x2apic=off`. My options line so far looks like this: ``` options=console=vga efi=attr=uc noapic x2apic=off ``` At this point, I got the black screen described in issue #5165 (3). Following the advice there, I updated my options line to the following: ``` options=console=vga efi=attr=uc noapic x2apic=off loglvl=all efi=no-rs iommu=no-igfx dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M ucode=scan vga=current,keep guest_loglvl=all ``` With the newly verbose output, it looks like I'm back to square one: ``` Kernel panic - not syncing: The noapic parameter is incompatible with Xen ``` # Ideas I have - try with a newer kernel version (I don't know how to go about trying this, and it sounds like a lot of work) --- Where should I go from here? Thanks!
