Tom,
Did you have to change the bios settings on your box to get it to work? I get a bug panic in some piece of io code. Maybe I need to shutoff secure boot or some such?
Scott
I do have secure boot turned off when I do the install. I am also using the 8.3 version of XCP-ng.
I’ve tried a few things and no luck. Perhaps you are running different firmware I have the one that says may 24 build date. I reflashed the bios with the latest from the beelink site to see if that would fix it. supposedly the work around for this (disable iommu) isn’t available in the Beelink bios… I’ll keep trying things but I think I will need a better bios or xcp-ng.
Scott
Worth noting that the system boots but takes about 30-40 seconds before the XCP-NG dashboard shows up.
@scottrob - did you ever figure out how to install xcp-ng on a Bee-link SER8?
I have a new SER8 Ryzen 7 8745HS here with firmware from October 2024. The xcp-ng 8.3 installer ends very quickly with
Xen BUG at …/drivers/passthrough/amd/iommu_init.c:1386
and the xcp-ng installer for 8.2.1 that I have used for other installs stops with a similar
Xen BUG at iommu_init.c:1425
I have tried with IOMMU changed from auto to enabled or to disabled without luck. It runs the bundled Windows 11 Pro perfectly. I booted Ubuntu from a flash drive without any issues.
Any recommendations for BIOS settings or other tricks to get it to install?
thanks for the help
For anyone reading … I was trying to disable IOMMU in the BIOS but then the SER8 would not boot
Then I re-read the documentation again 
and found this
By adding iommu=0 to the installer grub boot options I was able to finally install xcp-ng 8.3.
Once installed I needed to add iommu=0 to /boot/efi/EFI/xenserver/grub.cfg else I was back to the same iommu error.
Worked well for me after I learned a bit about grub 
Thanks for the help,
Scott
