Qubes 3.1 builder - Which template/file do I add "nomodeset" to get it into the live ISO?

[anton...@gmail.com]

Short problem description:
The laptop doesn't boot without "nomodeset" passed to the kernel.
This has normally been done by using tab in grub, but since Q3.1 the "chainloader" module is used (see xen.cfg).
The long term solution would be to do nouveau.modeset=0 I guess but "nomodeset" will do the trick for now.

Solution to non-bootable laptop:
If I could find where to add "nomodeset" before running "make iso" that would greatly help.

Thought it would be either of the two:

- ./qubes-src/linux-pvgrub2/grub-xen.cfg
- ./chroot-fc20/home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD/grub-2.02~beta2/grub-xen.cfg

But these are as you know the same boot options the user is promted with when editing via tab in the grub menu, and adding "nomodeset" to "multiboot" doesn't do anything.

Alos tried adding it to:

- /chroot-fc20/home/user/qubes-src/installer-qubes-os/lorax-templates-qubes/templates/live/config_files/x86/grub2-efi.cfg
- ./chroot-fc20/home/user/qubes-src/installer-qubes-os/lorax-templates-qubes/templates/live/config_files/x86/grub.conf

Without any luck.
So now I'm turning to the community for help, where do I add "nomodeset" prior to running "make iso" so that I can install Qubes 3.1?

Thanks in advance!

I should clarify that this is mainly related to UEFI boot, legacy still has the option to change kernel parameters on boot.

xen.cfg for Live image is created here:

(qubes-builder/qubes-src/installer-qubes-os/livecd-creator-qubes)
Take a look "kernel=" line (line 93).
You need to rebuild installer-qubes-os after modification, then iso.

Sweet, that should do the trick.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Regarding top-posting, I get it.. But Google Inbox doesn't and there's no way to work around it with the app (that I know of).
