I have it running on fairly recent > Dell servers (in BIOS mode) My Dell servers, even the newer PE-R510, are much older I think :-) They run -current (2021-03-10) quite well (except for PR# 54969 -- I have to remember to unmount my larger filesystems manually before any reboot unless I want to risk loss and/or wait a long time for fscks -- I haven't turned on '-o log' for them yet as I wanted to measure its performance impact). My XEN3_DOM0 kernel is somewhat customized, but not in any way that should affect the hardware support or Xen -- of interest might be iscsi support and and VND_COMPRESSION, but I haven't tried testing either yet. I did read about the unified EFI image support in Xen 4.15 and I was thinking of trying it on my old MacBookPro -- but I would also want X11 to work on it too, and even FreeBSD's Xserver wasn't working on it last summer, so I went back to MacOS in order to be able to use it for web and such as well as remote access. -- Greg A.
