Hello. I tried to run QubesOS on Huawei matebook d16, but I could not get the installer to start.
I looked at the “UEFI Troubleshooting” documentation section, tried to change the kernel parameters, but nothing worked.
I can’t capture the error on boot because the lines go by too fast. I think there might be some useful information at the end, but after the last one the screen shuts down.
Has anyone installed Qubes on this laptop?
How did you solve the problems? Or can you tell me how to make the screen not turn off?
Yes. I read this. I tried other flash, and it still dont work. I capture screenshots. Some lines missed because all was very fast. This is best quality what i can do. 767.6 KB file on MEGA
I was wrong, the screen does not turn off, it just goes black. The last screenshot shows what happens before that.
P.S. My laptop have only CPU-integrated graphics.
Now I use Fedora 33. It installs without problems.
I tried to load qubes 4.1.0 alpha. I got typical grub menu but when I select value to start, I see this text:
error: no multiboot header found
error: you need to load kernel first.
error: you need to load kernel first.
I don’t know which kernel used in this Qubes build, but i know that many distributions with kernel oldest than in Fedora doesn’t work at this laptop. For example, MX Linux, PCLinuxOS, Artix. But openSUSE Leap with kernel 5.3 is work.
???
Maybe 4.1.0 doesn’t work because kernel is old.
// have you try with uefi / bios installation ?
I don’t try bios install. Which utility can write image in BIOS mode in linux?
I know, that old rufus can do it, but I don’t have native Windows now.
P.S. I tried to write Qubes images with balenaEtcher and dd.
P.P.S. Secure boot and TPM was always disabled.
