 ### Installing kernel in Debian VM
+#### Distribution kernel
+Apply the following instruction in a Debian TemplateVM or in a Debian StandaloneVM.
 
-Install whatever kernel you want, making sure to include the headers.
-If you are using a distribution kernel package (`linux-image-amd64` package), the initramfs and kernel modules should be handled automatically.
-If not, or you are building the kernel manually, do this using `dkms` and `initramfs-tools`:

+Create folder `/boot/grub`.

+sudo mkdir -p /boot/grub
+~~~
+
+Install distribution kernel image, kernel headers and the grub configuration generator.
+
+~~~
+sudo apt install --no-install-recommends linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 grub2-common
+~~~
+
+Generate the grub configuration file.
+
+~~~
+sudo update-grub

+
+You can safely ignore this error message:

+
+You may want to adjust some settings in `/etc/default/grub` (or better `/etc/default/grub.d`). For example, lower `GRUB_TIMEOUT` to speed up VM startup. You need to re-run `sudo update-grub` after making grub confugration changes.
+
+Then shutdown the VM.
+
+Go to Qubes VM Manger -> right click on the VM -> Qube settings -> Advanced -> choose `pvgrub2-phv` -> OK
+
+Start the VM.
+
+The process of using Qubes VM kernel with distribution kernel is complete. 
+
+**Note:** You may also use `PV` mode instead of `HVM` but this is not recommended for security purposes.
+If you require `PV` mode, install `grub2-xen` in dom0 and change the template's kernel to `pvgrub2`.

+#### Custom kernel
+Any kernel can be installed. Just make sure to install kernel headers as well.
+
+If you are building the kernel manually, do this using `dkms` and `initramfs-tools`.
+
+Run DKMS. Replace this <kernel-version> with actual kernel version.

-### Troubleshooting
+#### Troubleshooting
 
 In case of problems, you can access the VM console using `sudo xl console VMNAME` in dom0, then access the GRUB menu.
 You need to call it just after starting the VM (until `GRUB_TIMEOUT` expires); for example, in a separate dom0 terminal window.
