Some systems can freeze with the default UEFI install options.
You can try the following to remove `noexitboot` and `mapbs`.
If you have an Nvidia card, see also [Nvidia Troubleshooting](/doc/nvidia-troubleshooting/#disabling-nouveau).
1. Follow the [steps above](/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#change-installer-kernel-parameters-in-uefi) to edit the `[qubes-verbose]` section of your installer's `xen.cfg`.
You want to comment out the `mapbs` and `noexitboot` lines.
The end result should look like this:
~~~
[qubes-verbose]
options=console=vga efi=attr=uc
# noexitboot=1
# mapbs=1
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1
ramdisk=initrd.img
~~~
2. Boot the installer and continue to install as normal, but don't reboot the system at the end when prompted.
3. Go to `tty2` (Ctrl-Alt-F2).
4. Use your preferred text editor (`nano` works) to edit `/mnt/sysimage/boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg`, verifying the `noexitboot` and `mapbs` lines are not present.
This is also a good time to make permanent any other changes needed to get the installer to work, such as `nouveau.modeset=0`.
For example:
~~~
[4.14.18-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64]
options=loglvl=all dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M iommu=no-igfx ucode=scan efi=attr=uc
~~~
5. Go back to `tty6` (Ctrl-Alt-F6) and click `Reboot`.
6. Continue with setting up default templates and logging in to Qubes.

On some early, buggy UEFI implementations, you may need to disable EFI under Qubes completely. On some early, buggy UEFI implementations, you may need to disable EFI under Qubes completely.
This can sometimes be done by switching to legacy mode in your BIOS/UEFI configuration. This can sometimes be done by switching to legacy mode in your BIOS/UEFI configuration.
If that's not an option there, or legacy mode does not work either, you can try the following to add `efi=no-rs`. If that's not an option there, or legacy mode does not work either, you can try the following to add `efi=no-rs`.
