Hello again @51lieal - I went ahead and purchased the machine. I cannot get the QubesOS installer from GRUB to pass through and get a familiar error in the community: “Failed to start udev”. What were your relevant BIOS setting changes? So far I have:
- Boot order to USB first
- Use of “Dynamic Graphics” instead of “Discrete Graphics” from UEFI menu
- Disable Secure Boot
Did you append anything to the Xen command line from GRUB like mentioned here?
UPDATE 1: Disabled UEFI and only enabled Legacy BIOS support and the “Failed to start udev” error went away entirely but I have been sitting at a black screen for 40+ minutes…
UPDATE 2: Screen finally after 2+ hours showed that /root could not be mounted and was unresponsive to a USB keyboard or on-board keyboard input, cursor is rapidly blinking about 10x faster than it normally would (I presume)
UPDATE 3: I tried the latest ISO from the test branch: Qubes OS openQA: qubesos-4.1-install-iso-x86_64-Build4.1.202303180203-install_default_kernel_latest@hw10 test results and can’t even get GRUB to show up
UPDATE 4: Found @51lieal comment which they should have put in the notes when reporting the YAML file update steps taken or linked to this comment: Qubes 4.1 on Legion 5 pro R7 5800H RTX3060 - #10 by 51lieal. Downloading the same ISO on the same hardware and will try to follow these exact steps. A link to this comment should be in the notes for the YAML. Will try once I have the beta ISO downloaded and BIOS is configured.
UPDATE 5: When editing the line for Install as suggested in UPDATE 4 I had to remove the part of the line which had i915.alpha_support=1 between plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles and quiet so now the part of the line is: plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles quiet i915.force_probe=* and I get a blank screen for 30+ minutes…
