[qubes-users] HCL -ASRock B560 Pro (NIC Intel I219-V unrecognised)

[tech]

Machine purpose built to run Qubes
ASRock-B560Pro, Intel i5-11500
500G NVMe x4, 16G RAM (might have needed more RAM)





The real problem!
No recognition of Intel i219-v NIC
Likely due to lack of recognition;

Altered sys-net from fedora-32 to debian-10 =same problem

BARE METAL
tested fedora-34 live CD on bare machine, works perfectly
likewise worked with bare metal garuda OS
but not with linuxmint 20.1 =same problem with nic



looks like a kernel problem? I don't know enough...

via usb phone tether updated entire qubes (dom0, fed32)
installed fedora-33 from repository


there are no older kernels to test in a fresh install,

conclusion, so much for hardware requirements,

so onboard graphics, NIC, single PS/2 port, planned to use splitter for key/mouse, dual PS/2 only present too old tech annoying problem with display resolution stated at 800x600, actually appears as normal HD but top bar pushes Apply Cancel buttons off bottom of screen in Qubes Settings, nigh impossible to click buttons while chasing settings (took a while to realise there was buttons off-screen!) "Unable to reset PCI device... no FLR PM reset etc..." selected in the exceptions which allowed sys-net to start attempted via long process get files onto a VM, to install fed-34 as HVM, which failed at 4% gave up on installing other HVM's no exFAT support, no net to install exFAT support same problem, 20+hrs wasted, can't afford to continue flogging a dead horse there appears to be one other in repository, but still recent, the NIC is year's old apparently... Intel integrated graphics, VT-d, even IO-SRV not that there's a graphics card Anyone with a single combo PS/2 port, (recent boards no longer have dual) this board had a dual PS/2 via splitter option in UEFI, but Qubes allowed installation of sys-usb with PS/2 keyboard only attached, then worked with a USB mouse attached afterwards for multiple boots. I didn't get as far as buying a splitter cable, and there's wiring diagrams about.
