I had to add the option "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau" to the kernel
boot line in xen.cfg.

(I ended up binary editing the iso file before writing it to a usb
stick.  I think there is an easier way, but I couldn't figure it out).

Use EFI boot with the usb install stick, not legacy bios.

I just grabbed a new xps15 and the installer is falling back to text mode. I'm 
not sure why we're getting different results on the same computers. Anyone have 
any ideas?

Hmm, obviously I've been lucky - I just put the Qubes 3.2 ISO on a USB
stick, booted it, and everything worked fine.

I remember making one modification in the BIOS settings: I set the HD
mode to AHCI (default was set to RAID), I thought something more
standard-esqe might be of advantage ;-)

Hi Stefan,

I too have a new XPS-15 9560, but I can't install Qubes.  The laptop
boots the installer into terminal mode - the graphics installer does
not come up at all.  

Did you have to do anything special to get the graphical installer
running?

Cheers,

   Mike.
