Fedora kernel for VM

[Asad Manzur]

Hi
I've been searching around but I can't find any documentation on how to install fedora vanilla kernel for a VM. Can anyone guide me in the correct direction please. I am wanting to use vanilla Fedora kernel so that I can run my Intel AX200 WiFi card on my Clevo laptop.
Thanks for your help

In Qube Settings, make the default kernel "none". It will then use the
kernel in the VM image.

Also, you will need to pass through the network card to the VM.

Best of luck,

Mike.

You also need to set the VM to be HVM for the pci pass-through to work.

I've tried this against debian-10-minimal template vm, and it doesn't
seem to work.

Any idea if there's something special needed to turn a debian-10-minimal
into an HVM vm that can boot its own kernel?

Think you'd need a package called something like
qubes-kernel-vm-support, a Debian kernel package, and grub. DKMS used to
be necessary- see if that qubes package pulls it in or try without first.
