virtualization - Xen boot fails on HP Z8

I followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen.
Well, the first two steps. After the reboot, I am presented with:


Loading Xen 4.9-amd_64 ...
WARNING: no console will be available to OS
Loading Linux 4.15.0-20-generic ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

Nothing more.


Does anyone run Ubuntu as dom0 in Xen these days?
This is on a new HP Z8 workstation with dual "silver xeon 4114" which should have all the requisite functions.


I am a bit concerned about the lack of much detail in the BIOS. About the only thing I can tweak is the Hyper-threading setting.
