The process for editing the ISO kernel parameters is described in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ , except in your case you are adding the "nomodeset" option instead of the ones they tell you in the guide (based on your symptoms). Add "nomodeset" to the end of each "kernel=" line in xen.cfg. Note: after you rebuild the ISO, optionally you may want to run it in a VM to make sure you got everything right, before you burn a DVD. Don't expect it to actually work correctly, but just make sure you're able to select the "Install Qubes" boot menu entry and that it doesn't complain about a bad config file or anything. If everything goes as it should, most likely you'll get a "sorry, this system doesn't support virtualization" type of message because it's already running in a VM. If so, that's good, burn to DVD. However, that being said... Honestly, the easiest thing right now would be download the R4.1 pre-release, burn it, try it with default settings first, and if you get the same problem as before, add nomodeset. To do that just press 'e' when you see the grub boot menu (with option "Qubes R4.1, with Xen hypervisor" highlighted) and then add "nomodeset" at the end of the kernel line (it looks something like "multiboot2 vmlinuz ..."). > Just to rule the option out: Could it be possible that when installing from a > burned ISO-file the > installation fails, while installing from a USB with a transferred ISO-file > using Rufus in dd-mode > the installation of Qubes OS succeed ? - If so, I would try that first.

It's probably kernel version issue or graphics driver issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
