Hi everyone,

I got an issue in Qubes OS R4.0 when I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a Standalone VM. The beginning worked well : the installation proceeds and the VM make a first reboot which works correctly. When I launch again the VM, the installation continues but the VM freezed when it comes to the second reboot.

If I kill the VM and restart it, the installation fails and I'm forced to delete the VM in order to restart the process right at the beginning. I tried three times and it's always the same thing. Are there some people who had the same issue ?

Regards.

Check out taradiddles' pending documentation update

- look for the step about Cirrus video adapter.
