HCL - Hewlett Packard HP 255 G3

[Erik Nylund]

Boot from GRUB does not work, no matter the parameters I use it will only loop back to menu. I could not get GRUB workaround (step 1-2) https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#system-crashrestart-when-booting-installer to work. The following procedure does however.

Press F9 on power on to select boot device, then select "Boot From EFI File", select ANACONDA and browse to /EFI/BOOT/xen.efi

This will read the default settings from /EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg, so you will have to modify the file on a second machine which can read the USB stick.*

Add "efi=attr=uc" to the end of the first line in the [qubes] section /EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg like so:

...
[qubes]
options=none efi=attr=uc
...

Follow steps 3-5 in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#system-crashrestart-when-booting-installer to complete the installation.

I installed Debian Netinst on the same machine first, this allowed me to do the following:

sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usb
sudo sed -i -e 's/^options=.*/\0 efi=attr=uc/' /mnt/usb/EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg
sudo reboot
