[A Luciani]

Installation instructions

1. Use ISO Qubes-4.0.4-x86_64.iso
2. When booting to install, select “Install Qubes OS"
3. Finish installation and boot into OS.

Remarks

The important things work:

• Fedora 32/33
• Debian 10
• Whonix
• Ethernet (on the laptop and on the docking station)
• Wifi
• Microphone
  

One thing : sys-usb don't work, i'm currently trying to see why, maybe i have to check something in the BIOS because the VM will boot if there is no PCI (USB) device in "device" option.

Also experiment with the strict_reset and/or permissive option on the
USB controller:

Thank you for your HCL report, it is not part of this pull request:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-hcl/pull/60
... and will be visible on the website soon!

I marked it as "works" confident that the sys-usb issue can be sorted
out. In case you haven't already, I recommend checking for this:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-troubleshooting/

In particular --option no-strict-reset=true
