UEFI Troubleshooting workaround does not work

[Patrick Schleizer]

Hi!

Got a new notebook. Tried to install Qubes R3.2 as well as Qubes R4 RC1
but failed so far.

Got this

Filepath:
ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/File(/EFI/Boot)/file(Xen.efi)/EndEntire

boot loop bug. The workarround
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ does not help. Still
a boot loop. Tried installation from USB as well as DVD.

And I couldn't find a legacy boot option in the BIOS.

For comparison, an Ubuntu dvd booted.

Meaning, no Qubes for that notebook?

So the only option left nowadays is "when you buy a new notebook, make
sure it supports legacy boot"?

Cheers,
Patrick

That guide totally does not apply. It starts with "1/ You will need to
install Qubes in UEFI mode, *NOT* BIOS/CSM mode". Doesn't fly - cannot
boot Qubes anyhow.

Well... Your issue is an UEFI issue, my post explained how to try and
solve a serious UEFI issue and boot Qubes in UEFI mode on a system that
doesn't want to, but if you're sure it is irrelevant ;-)
