Has anybody successfully managed to boot qubes on 4.3 alpha with nvidia card?

There were lots of debugging during boot. i constantly saw the message about the signature, but it was solved when i updated bios clock. but the problem persists -
I’ve skimmed through few pages of posts, but except the last one (which has been not attempted) it doesn’t worked. i’ll try to install qubes without nvidia graphcs card, update dom0 and retry it.

puts hand up

Install with AMD GPU, update the kernel specifically to 6.6.68 or above.

Reboot.

Shut down and change out to NVIDIA card again.

Boot.

Work happily.

I have moderate success, but only by disabling it in dom0 (adding module_blacklist=nouveau option to dom0 kernel) and then attaching it to a VM. Obviously this approach works only if nvidia is not the only GPU you have…

I guess you may try by booting installer with kernel-latest (the last boot entry in installer), but there may still be missing firmware in the installer image…

It seems nice approach to remove graphics amd install, and update dom0 to latest or install nvidia drivers, and attach the graphics. I would try it out.

However, regardless of the kernel-latest or verbose boot and install in first menu in installation medium, i found out that either the 4.3 alpha build or the corrupted installation media is problematic, i successfully managed to see post-installation screen and installed template, but instllaer is stuck on cofiguring networking.

How did you boot to the ISO?

Was the AMD card in from the start to that point?

When you are setting up, don’t configure anything except the sys-usb if you want the sys-usb.

Other than that, just install one template, or none.

I often don’t install any templates for the installer, just get the system up.

After that, I install the templates from the ISO myself. Saves time, saves headaches, and takes less time.
