Problems with Qubes setup with AMD GPU (r9 290)

[panec...@gmail.com]

Hey there,

I am currently trying to get a live usb drive of Qubes running but the OS freezes after the first login prombt. I since tried to get several linux based live systems (e.g. Tails, regular Debian) running, but all fail right after the "greeter".

I have since searched around and think it could be related to my system utilizing an AMD GPU (R 290) . I found this possible relevant thread on the Qubes troubleshoot FAQs -> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-devel/4npXsO2mL3Y. In this thread, a similiar problem has been resolved by adding some firmware to the OS, but the link is not working for the new firmware.

Is there a good resource someone could point me to? Or, theoretically speaking, is it possible to install Qubes on a flash drive (min. 32 GB, I think) or an Intel machine and then install the required firmware? My CPU lacks internal GPU capabilities, but in my head, this could work, right?

Thanks for your time!
