        Maybe try again as a BIOS boot VM, but the times for BIOS boot are nearing an end, so many things have climbed on UEFI only these days that a problem like this is going to be hard to ignore.

          I noticed the same: for VMs that use UEFI the boot time is greatly increased compared to BIOS mode.

          I noticed that VMs that have UEFI enabled show some "installing xen timer" and "spinlock" events in kernel log:

          Apr 27 11:35:06 xo01 kernel: Xen: using vcpuop timer interface

Apr 27 11:35:06 xo01 kernel: cpu 5 spinlock event irq 85
Apr 27 11:35:06 xo01 kernel: cpu 6 spinlock event irq 86
Apr 27 11:35:06 xo01 kernel: cpu 7 spinlock event irq 87

          Those events seem to be what is slowing down boot.
          Ever since I started using XCP-ng I was able to observe this behavior.
          Once the VM is fully booted performance seems to be normal.
          Maybe worth investigating at some point.

          Best regards

            Before the LTS release UEFI worked extremely well, something kind of went sideways when it hit release. I only have a single UEFI VM, it was created under version 8.2 and does not give me trouble.

            I guess I need to get my lab back up, had a UPS fail and shut everything off a few days ago. Then I need to test UEFI VMs and see what I can see. But back when it went LTS I reinstalled from scratch and tried to do everything through XO-lite to get the first VM running and found that Debian 13 or Windows Server 2022 would not boot if I created them with UEFI. Since then I haven't tested this again.

            I'm also tempted to just move my whole lab to version 9, waiting for the next ISO to land and I may do this. I can run real testing workloads on Harvester for the time being and maybe play around migrating back and forth between both systems.

              Unfortunately, commit https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/9727 doesn't fix this issue of the VM-console reloading constantly. With loss of focus as a result. At least not on XO6..

              pierre-briffaux opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

                After upgrading from 6.3.3 to the new 6.4.0 release, the dashboard page for xoa 6 is just spinning. v5 seem unaffected after the update. I have restarted the xoa vm. The xoa-updated show all up to date and xoa check shows healthy.

                      Just to confirm this is with actual XOA and not XO from sources? Have you rebooted XO? Check logs? sudo journalctl -u xo-server -n 50

                      Edit - Just updated my home lab XOA

                      I see same thing... XO from sources no issues. Work XOA no issues...

                              @acebmxer Correct, this is with XOA. While watching the journalctl and launching XOA in chrome, I get this output. 43a82668-4f1d-480c-bc0a-ce19ab7043cb-image.jpeg
