I found this which doesn't seem relevant (or if it is I can't make the connection) :
Is there anything generally I should be looking for?
Thanks,
I have win 7 as my windows HVM, if I remember correctly, you need to have windows 7, and not windows home. The windows-tools-package that qubes uses is only for win 7. There is a great page on all this at:
Followed all the links I can find on the Qubes website, including that one.
Installed windows-tools from the current-testing repo.
One thing I am doing is loading the iso from another VM (as documented here :
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/hvm/
It finds it fine, and as I say gets as far as that starting page, but then nothing. I have to Kill VM to stop it.
vga s->lfb_addr = f0000000 s->lfb_end = f1000000
Don't know if that helps.
That seems suspiciously like problems with the vga emulation. Did you try the fix in the thread you linked?
I hereby offer myself to be roundly whipped through the streets of Aberdeen.
Apologies, and thanks.
I am at a loss as what to do, seeing that I've followed all instructions carefully and have no interactivity at this stage of the process. Thanks.
I was having the same issue, but these instructions worked for me.
