Hi all,
I'm trying to install QubesOS on a Lenovo Yoga 370. The given CPU
(i7-7500U) should be compatible (since https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/
mentions multiple other laptops with the same CPU as being compatible). The
laptop also nicely boots other Linux distributions (like Debian).
The problem is that the GUI of the installer just doesn't come up. Even if
I choose the "debug" boot, a bunch of messages scroll by and then the
screen becomes black and nothing happens any more. Again, I don't have any
problems with booting / installing Debian for example.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
Best,
G.P.
Hello G.P.,
I also experienced that behavior (GUI installer does not show up; black
screen) in the past. It turned out that the ISO image on the USB stick
was slightly different from the ISO image I “burned” to the USB stick
using dd.
So, I tried to “burn” the whole ISO image again onto the USB stick
(using dd) but with similar failure. Finally, I wrote a program which
fixed only the differences and then it worked!
You can find my program here:

The GRUB menu of the Qubes OS installer also offers to check the media
before installing. You can also try that.
