With neither VT-x nor VT-d turned on in BIOS, Qubes APPVMs worked fine. The new shutdown patch worked.
With VT-x turned on, qubes boots up.
With VT-x and VT-d both turned on, Qubes will not boot.
Have not yet tried VT-x off but VT-d on.

VT-x OFF but VT-d ON results in no bootup either.

Is there an /etc/ file or /boot/ file i could change to get qubes to boot?

Probably incompatible (broken) GPU driver in Dom0. Try different Dom0
kernel.

When you say "doesn't boot", what exactly do you mean? I.e. at which
stage does the boot stop/crash?

With last kernel, I had boot issue (GPU driver issue ?)
Boot on Linux 3.9.2-2 kernel is OK

i tried advanced boot settings and changing 'quiet' to '1' but i do not even get to an init level 1 prompt. This machine only has the intel VGA on motherboard, no GPU. Keep in mind i installed Qubes initially with VT-d and VT-x OFF and Qubes works fine as long as i do not switch both back ON.
