Qubes refuse to start the installation on Mac Pro

If the Mac is not your main machine, I’d install rEFInd. Check, if the VMX bit is set in EFI.

I have a limit number of massages i can post, but refeind appear more options, i installed Debian unstable and it worked normally, the vmx bit working, but i still cant install qubes… Ah, i installed refind btw, but still no luck :frowning:

What is your EFI version? Could you start EFI-Shell? And just out of curiosity: is Mac OS installed?

I installed Opensuse Tumbleweed, and mac os isnt installed, and what is the efi-shell?

And the firmware of the mac is the most recent

Have you tried with a single SATA drive attached? NVMe in particular is a beast in its own right.

Regarding the shell, see the “showtools” parameter. You can enhance the boot environment:

It gives you some options for early boot parameters (to play with and to find out, what’s going on).
