Qubes OS version:

Qubes release 4.0 (R4.0)

Hardware

Lenovo Thinkpad x220 i7-2620M (with ME stripped from bios)

qubes-hcl-report
HVM: Active
I/O MMU: Active
HAP/SLAT: Active
TPM: Device present
Remapping: yes

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Using CLI

qvm-create xp --class StandaloneVM --label green
qvm-start --cdrom dom0:/home/mydom0user/windows_xp.iso

The virtual machine console starts but close itslef right after the SeaBIOS message

Booting from ROM
Probing EDD

The same happens with any other ISO (example: netbsd)

I was unable to find any related error in my journalctl.

Expected behavior:

The HVM should boot the iso and show the operating system installer.

Actual behavior:

The HVM console turn off just after the post message.

General notes:

Set kernel property to none:

qvm-prefs xp kernel ''

Then, you'll probably hit #3339, which is fixed in qubes-core-dom0-4.0.15, just uploaded to current-testing repository.
