I never experienced the installer drop to shell or "X failed to start" or anything like that. I did have the installer screen freeze sometimes on one version, I think 4.0.2-rc2, but I was able to get past it and never really investigated the cause. In my case, it was the post-installation stuff that took some real troubleshooting. So I don't have much to offer beyond the generic troubleshooting tips. I looked at your thread, but it doesn't appear to have /tmp/X.log, please post that if you can. You're at least making it to the console, so that's good. I would definitely try booting with nomodeset if you haven't already. It can fix a wide variety of different X-related problems. Also please mention what Qubes ISO versions and kernel versions you've tried. You may want to try an R4.1 pre-release build. Look for the link Brendan posted earlier in this thread. You may also want to try installing Qubes on a different machine, upgrading to kernel-latest, and then moving the disk or USB drive to the target machine. For what it's worth, the "[Firmware bug]" and "ACPI Error" lines are quite common, if not universal, on Ryzen systems. However they don't seem to be related to any specific problems in practice, so I wouldn't worry too much about those. The "Failed to load kernel modules" error seems to be common in Qubes and even other OSes, regardless of hardware, so I wouldn't worry about that either. I doubt any of those are directly related to the X failure you're experiencing. I can also say, sys-usb causes all manner of problems on my machine and for some other Ryzen users as well. So when you do finally make it to that point, I definitely would not recommend enabling that option until you have everything else working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
