The most significant fact about my post appears to have been overlooked - my x230 with Coreboot onboard boots all Linux distros I've tried, including;Tails, Debian, Fedora etc. Why does it not boot Qubes? Is there something special I need to do to get Qubes to boot. If so, I suggest Qubes post that installation information to the wider community.- after all Qubes recommended Coreboot in the first place.

From this post https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2553 there is a clear acknowledgement from Qubes Developers that  there are significant problems with Coreboot/Qubes compatibility. Seemingly, those problems are not being formally acknowledged by Qubes.
