Where to find it or is it called something else ? Make sure you're looking in the first partition (/dev/sdb1). I'm not sure what directory it's in on the installer and I don't have a copy of it handy. On an installed system it's under (/dev/sdb1)/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg. Note this is for R4.0 only. You might want to start a new thread about that, so someone with more experience in the installer can help you with that. > 3) By “R4.1 pre-release” do you then mean “R4.0.1” ? No, R4.1 is an upcoming version that hasn't been released yet, but has unstable builds available. https://openqa.qubes-os.org/tests/5493/asset/iso/Qubes-4.1-20200113-x86_64.iso R4.0.x versions are the same as R4.0, but with updates preinstalled. > I have tried to load R4.0.1 in legacy mode and when the grub boot menu > appears, there isn’t any > option labeled “Qubes R4.1, with Xen Hypervisor”.

It'll most likely be the default menu entry which is already highlighted, usually the first in the list. I have no idea why "e" doesn't work. Can you move up and down to different menu entries? > 4) I’m also not totally sure where to add “nomodeset” when you just say at > the end of the kernel > line (it looks something like “multiboot2 vmlinuz”)...

Here's a copy from an installed R4.1 system, but the entry in the installer should look similar. nomodeset is on the second-to-last "module2" line (don't type the asterisks). In legacy mode this line will start with "linux /vmlinuz-" (I think) but works the same way. If you add it in the wrong place, don't worry just reboot and try again. menuentry 'Qubes, with Xen hypervisor' --class qubes --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen $menuentry_id_option 'xen-gnulinux-simple-2136e4d1-da52-4921-90c1-f7617ab8a31f' { insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='hd0,gpt2' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt2 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt2 039dd247-6c6e-40c5-a8ec-890d4462da53 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ... fi echo 'Loading Xen 4.13.0 ...' if [ "$grub_platform" = "pc" -o "$grub_platform" = "" ]; then xen_rm_opts= else xen_rm_opts="no-real-mode edd=off" fi multiboot2 /xen-4.13.0.gz placeholder console=none dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M iommu=no-igfx ucode=scan smt=off ${xen_rm_opts} echo 'Loading Linux 4.19.89-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 ...' module2 /vmlinuz-4.19.89-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 placeholder root=UUID=... ro rd.luks.uuid=luks-... plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles rhgb quiet **nomodeset** echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' module2 --nounzip /initramfs-4.19.89-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
