Set the following kernel options on the installer usb media:

Comment out noexitboot=1 and mapbs=1
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/)

Blacklisted nouveau (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/)

Set i915.force_probe=* (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/)


Installed in legacy mode - will try another install at some point to see
if I can get UEFI working.


Otherwise - install is perfect. Everything works out of the box, no issues.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your HCL report! Are you aware that there was a thread
about this machine in 2019?

https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/WMc88pfT-hM/m/4r7sS6d7BQAJ

Yassine Ilmi reported the (almost) identical machine. They have an
additional Nvidia card as well as a different network card, but the rest
of the HCL is identical to yours.

That's why I've added your report as an additional line to the previous
one and it's now part of this pull request:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-hcl/pull/59

It will be visible on the website soon!

/Sven
