I remember having problems booting UEFI as well on my server hardware.
Try installing in BIOS mode.

Yes, but I'm just considering that a last resort.

Today I did a firmware/BIOS update.
Now I get another error message.

Error Message before BIOS update:
FATAL PAGE FAULT
[error_code=0011]

Error Message after BIOS update
FATAL TRAP: vector = 6 (invalid opcode)

What does that mean?

Can you share more details about the uefi boot configuration/setup?

BIOS Setup:
- CSM/Legacy Boot is disabled
- UEFI Boot is enabled (only)

Standard Debian 10 (buster) Installation.
- Booting with grub 2.02
- grub.cfg contains multiboot2 and module2 for xen

Parameters for Hypervisor:
dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_vcpus_pin console=vga
vga=text-80x25,keep loglvl=all

Parameters for dom0:
earlyprintk=xenboot console=hvc0

Xen Hypervisor is booting, but dom0 crashes.

Re: xen-4.11 dom0 crashes on EFI boot [ In reply to ]
It seemed like you were booting with grub. Have you tried to refer to the wiki page for efi booting setup?

FYI, https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI

It worked for my xen 4.10 efi bootstrapping.

Kun

Yes, I did, so I took a look at grub.cfg and checked if multiboot2 and
module2 are active for Xen. But I think if this configuration is wrong,
even the hypervisor would not bee booting.

For now I am curious about the changed error message after updating the
firmware.

I tried to boot the latest Alpine Linux Xen Image from a USB stick
alpine-xen-3.10.2-x86_64.iso

Same effect, Xen Hypervisor boots but dom0 crashes at startup.

Is there anything I can do for debugging?

BTW, booting works in Legacy Mode. But I don't want to give up yet.
