Xen doesn't have a list of individual support chips/systems,
because
kernels don't really work like that. We work feature by
feature, or
device by device.
You appear to have a Broadwell-era system. Any recent Linux
distro
should work for you, including the provided Xen package.
I tried installing Xen 4.9 provided with Fedora 28 but it
did not work. Can I get support with this please ?
What didn't work. What went wrong?
What logs do you have from the attempt?
We're not mind readers. Noone here can divine the cause of your
failure from nothing.
Sorry I will post a proper report over the weekend.
Heres what I am getting now which is different from before with Xen 4.9 on F28. Before it was actually booting past the [U]EFI stage. And I am not sure why it is faultering oon this. I have turned off UEFI on the Motherboard. Loading Xen 4.10.2.config ...
error: file `EFI/fedora/x86_64-efi/module.mod' not found.
error: file `EFI/fedora/x86_64-efi/multiboot.mod' not found.

Sorry this looks like a Fedora issue. I will take this over to the Fedora mailing list, but if anyone is Fedora based I would appreciate help.
