I created a USB installer for Qubes 3.1 and tried to install it on my Lenovo X220 tablet (with an i5 2520M, VT-x and VT-d enabled) and can't seem to get the thing to boot. I've previously installed an older Qubes release on my X200 and had to disable VT-d to get it to work, but the X220 is supposed to be supported out of the box. Whether I use the standard "Test & Install" method or the "Troubleshooting/verbose" method, I can't get past this screen (attached screenshot). Any suggestions? I tried editing the boot line to add "iommu=no-igfx" and that seemed to have no effect.
Thanks!

You need to add the following two parameters to the boot line to get the installer to boot:
/mapbs /noexitboot
You will also have to follow the procedure described on the following URL *before restarting* the computer after the installer has finished.
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/
The video will still be garbled during the first boot phase but the Qubes will continue to boot.
I case you are using EFI I'd suggest keeping a bootable USB drive with rEFInd 0.10.3 bootable ISO near by because I find it easier to boot the Qubes in case something went awry than using the default EFI boot loader.
Good luck, Matej.

Using /mapbs and /noexitboot I was able to get the thing installed, but following the instructions for editing the EFI boot listings (from the documentation you linked me to) isn't working. When I go through the steps with efibootmgr the new listing for Qubes ends up looking like this at the end:
p.l.a.c.e.h.o.l.d.e.r. ./.m.a.p.b.s.
...etc. I'm wondering if maybe there are missing quotes somewhere in the workaround in the documentation? I couldn't find anything that was much help in the efibootmgr man page.
Thanks!

It looks ok (those dots are because of UTF-16 encoding). But on some
machines adding bootloader parameters through efibootmgr isn't
effective[1]. In Qubes 3.2 there will be another way for setting them,
first release candidate will be in few days.

Interesting. I will try again with the 3.2 RC then. I can edit the xen.cfg file on 3.1 but it doesn't seem to have any effect either. Could I avoid this by just having the machine run in legacy mode only? What would I be losing by ditching UEFI?

Yes, if possible, that would be the easiest way.

installed on this machine, there should be no difference (besides
legacy mode actually working ;) ).

Went with legacy mode and everything was fine. I'm single booting Qubes on this machine... This is a testbed machine, not my main laptop, so I'd be happy to volunteer to test 3.2 UEFI issues on the X220 if that would be of use.
