I forgot to reply with my solution: To install with legacy instead of UEFI. I 
don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner; I guess I was pre-occupied with 
the fact that Qubes 3.2 worked fine with UEFI. So after four days of struggling 
I tried with legacy and it just works :)

Is it possible to place the older non-chiclet keyboard in a X230?
If so, do I need to modify my laptop in such a way that I can't go back to
the Chiclet Keyboard (example selling the device)?

Would love to use the older keyboard I had on my X200.

It is very easy to do - just buy a USB CH341A plus the correct SOIC8
clip with a cable and make sure it is properly oriented should cost you
around $10-20 for both.
It takes only around 10 minutes to do and I highly recommend it.

I also suggest buying a *20 series non-chiclet keyboard while you are at
it, it is a good mod.

The Thinkpad X230 is a good laptop -- that's why I bought it after all. A 
solution that asks for opening your laptop case with a screwdriver and a 
connect a  hardware IC flasher to the motherboard is just not practical for 
everyone. I might try some time in the future, though ;)

As the link to the Qubes-docs seems to cover UEFI, I assume you are using
UEFI on your X230?
If so, may I ask why? I am running Qubes 4 on my X230 and had no problems
installing it, but I've installed from one of the Release Candidates and I
have also not used UEFI as I don't see any benefit.
I am using Coreboot with SeaBIOS as Payload and everything works supernice
and like the best Laptop I have ever had.
There is one issue with my sys-usb which I need to resolve but I am unsure
if it is related to 4.0 or Coreboot or just myself.

We discussed this issue recently on this mailing list. I also tried the  
suggestion from above now, and it did not fix it on my Thinkpad X230. The 
default iommu=no-igfx option works fine though.

However, the suggestion by awokd is working for me. Add the two lines to the 
kernel sections in Xen.cfg as in

Thank you so much for taking your time to reply. Your solution didn't work.

In danish we have a term: "Errorcode 40". It means that the problem is sitting 
approximately 40 centimeters from the computer. That seems to be the case this 
time.

I don't know what went wrong, but my solution was the following:
- Remove the SSD from the x230 and connect it as an external drive to another 
laptop, do a full format.
- Reconnect it to the x230 
- Change bios-settings from "UEFI first" to "legacy only"
- Install Ubuntu (with the mere hope that this would fix grub, which it did)
- Install Qubes 4.0

I guess my primary problem was installing in uefi instead of legacy, but 
somehow during one of the first tries I've managed to destroy/delete something. 
I cannot tell you how or why, I wish I knew, but the solution posted above 
worked :)

I am unsure if iommu=no-igfx is the right option for the X230.
I would press "e" on boot and edit the grub prompt, let us know how it
works with changing the iommu-setting upon boot.

[qubes-users] X230 won't boot into Qubes after installing 4.0

2018-04-01 Thread Andreas Rasmussen
I tried to install Qubes 4.0 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X230. The install went 
smoothly without having to do any work in the BIOS.

However, upon reboot/startup I get the following error and then a black screen. 
Any clues to how I should continue?

I installed Qubes 3.2 without problems and have been using 3.2 on this machine 
since the release.

best,
Andreas
