[qubes-users] Black Screen when trying install on Lenovo E15 Gen 2

Hi!

Just a short note: Both Qubes-R4.0.4-x86_64.iso and Qubes-R4.1.0-alpha20201014-x86_64.iso produce a black screen after Xen loads the kernel on a Lenovo E15 Gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 4700 (8 cores, Radeon graphics) CPU.

Also Qubes 4.1 requires secure Boot to be disabled. Maybe time to change the boot loader?

Regards,
Ulrich

Might need to disable noexitboot and mapbs per [qubes-users] [HCL] ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac.

Thanks for the hint! I wonder why other live-systems work out of the box.
However to be honest: There is a problem with the display not turning on again after hibernate/resume, and the special function keys (like WLAN, microphone, volume, brightness) don't work either.
I was lucky to get that hardware; they say next shipment will be in October! Maybe it's just corona-homeoffice-madness, I don't know...
