Remarks

For the installation I had to remove the Adaptec ASR-8405 RAID controller because the system froze when starting up. The rest of the installation went smoothly. The NVIDIA GTX 1060 controls both monitors. Installing a Windows 10 VM works without any problems, the quebes-windows-tools 4.1.69-1 can be installed without any problems, all PV drivers work perfectly after a Windows reboot, the only thing I miss is the PV display driver - the normal basic VGA controller is active, but works well. The Adaptect RAID controller still prevents the boot process - the search for the problem continues…

Addendum: In my case, the kernel option plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles had to be added after the kernel option quiet in order for the graphical Plymouth splash screen to be displayed. Otherwise, the detail splash screen is always displayed when booting.

The change will be done in /etc/default/grub on the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX , followed up by the command grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I replaced the Adaptec 8405 with an Adaptec 81605ZQ, and i haven’t encountered any issues with this controller and Qube-OS 4.2.4, and it works perfectly.

For the 8405 card maybe you can try to blacklist aacraid driver for the install like I did here and reactive it after, it worked for me on Serie 6 Adaptec card.
