[qubes-users] Re: Xen.cfg file empty after install

2016-12-31 Thread xxdeadseeds
Checked my xen.cfg file on my working Qubes install, and it's empty. So, I'm thinking I'm going down the wrong path with that. Booted into grub (from rEFInd), and entered "configfile /EFI/qubes/grub.cfg" at the command line. This brought up a GRUB Boot Menu with Qubes as an option. Cool! Bu
