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.

I have managed to install, boot, and run F28 in KVM'ed F28 so my hardware is supported properly by KVM.
 
Many thanks in advance,
