[qubes-users] Re: failed Qubes 4.0.3 install on Dell Inspiron 14 5485
Fellow Dell Inspiron user here, Your problems are different from mine, and I'm no expert, but maybe the simple solution that worked for me might work for you: Mount the ANACONDA partition of the Qubes boot USB, then edit BOOTX64.cfg so that kernel parameters include 'nouveau.modeset=0' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] failed Qubes 4.0.3 install on Dell Inspiron 14 5485
Hi there, I've been trying to install the latest release of Qubes (4.0.3) into a Dell Inspiron 14 5485 laptop (spec below) but having a few problems. I've followed the 'Installation Guide' to setup the correct BIOS configuration (AMD virtualization enabled and secure boot disabled) and load the ISO image of Qubes into a USB drive using the dd tool. I've tried a few BIOS configurations which problems I'll describe below: 1) default behaviour (UEFI mode): on boot I press F12 to choose boot media and select USB flash. The installation start and prints a couple of messages but then goes to a blank screen and freezes; 2) legacy mode: on boot I press F12 and choose the USB drive. It opens a pop-up with 3 options- install Qubes, test USB media and install Qubes or troubleshooting. Inside troubleshooting you've a few other options, including installing Qubes in graphics mode. The test media option doesn't display any messages (freezes straight away). If you choose any of the installation options, it will start printing messages but then shows a blank screen and freezes; 3) legacy mode: pressed TAB in the installation dialogue and edited the command to trigger display of more information (console=vga and removal of 'noerror' flag). The installation still frezed but I was able to read the last message (an error related with ACPI). 4) legacy mode (console=vga, 'noerror' flag removed and acpi=off): introduced acpi=off in the installation command. Was able to go a bit further but the installation still freezed. 5) I've also followed the instructions in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ (2 and 3 sections) but had no success (both in UEFI or legacy modes); 6) there is a setting in the BIOS for fast boot (options are minimal, Auto or through). None of these seem to make a difference both in UEFI or Legacy modes. Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong or other things to try? Happy to give more information if required.

I had double-checked my debian-10-minimal firewall template against the packages you installed and they matched, so I'm trying to think what else is different.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Upgrade to 16 GB RAM for an X230
Two inter-related arguments for switching to Coreboot so that one can replace an Intel wireless card with another card: 1. Lenovo BIOS generally has a small whitelist of WiFi cards that work and block all others. 2. Presumably the reason for this whitelist is support for AMT “out of band and silent” organizational inventory, configuration and tracking of laptops regardless of what OS it is running (e.g. even after wipe). The BIOS only has drivers for specific intel WiFi and Ethernet chipsets and can only “phone home” using known networking hardware. If you avoid the in-built Ethernet and the factory specified WiFi cards, it is much more difficult to leverage AMT and similar technologies for remote control and tracking of a device. Not impossible but more difficult. B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Interleaved memory just means that the memory addresses are spread across the modules. This has nothing to do with Dual Channel, which increases the transfer rate between the RAM and the controller. I don't think the lenovo BIOS will show interleaved status. As I said before, it's designed to work interleaved if possible. If the modules are matched, it will be interleaved. It certainly wont double the CPU speed. > Thanks for the replies. I now know the direction I should go.
