RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and Intel@andyhhp Thanks for the info. 
 I plan to leave my current machine (Ryzen 7900) as is since it seems to be running well.
 I plan to build a new machine with the extra 7950x. The motherboard is on back order.
 I will try the new setting once it is built.

RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and IntelI ordered a Ryzen 7900 last night and got it this morning. (Thanks Amazon). 
 I just replaced the 7950x with the 7900 and things seem to work better.I can run now a AlmaLinux 8 VM without the nopv flag. 
 I can now run Xen Orchestra without the nopv flag.I will do some more testing.

RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and Intel@andyhhp I built a new machine with my Ryzen 7950x. 
 Booting Xen with x2apic_phys=true did not seem to fix any issues.

RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and IntelI was having issues (download stalls) with the onboard 2.5Gb NIC (RTL8125) on the ASUS Prime B650M-A II-CSM motherboard even after I switched from the Ryzen 7950x to the 7900. 
 My setup also includes a X540 10Gb NIC which seemed to be working well.I swapped the motherboard back to the ASRock B650M PG Riptide and was still having issues with the onboard 2.5Gb NIC. I disabled the onboard NIC and installed a second X540 and have not have any network issues so far. I'm guessing there might be an issue with the r8125 driver. Excluding the onboard 2.5Gb NIC, XCP-ng seems to run well on both motherboards. The BIOS errors in dmesg don't seem to be causing any issues. 
 (The ASRock B650M PG Riptide seems like a nicer motherboard.)

RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and IntelI built a system with a Ryzen 7950x on an ASRock B650M PG Riptide motherboard and was having similar issues as mgales. I switch to an ASUS Prime B650M-A II-CSM without any improvement. With the ASUS Prime, there were no BIOS errors reported. 
 (I was able to get rid of 'ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve [_SB.PCI0.GPP7.UP00.DP40.UP00.DP68], AE_NOT_FOUND (20180810/dswload2-160)' by enabling the onboard audio.)I am able to run imported Windows VMs (Windows 10 and Server 2022) without any apparent issues. 
 I can run an imported AlmaLinux 8 VM with the nopv kernel option.
 I can run the AlmaLinux 8 installer with the nopv option.
 I can run Xen Orchestra with the nopv option.
 I can also run an imported CentOS 6 VM without any additional options.The main issue seems to be a stuck CPU on the Linux VMs when using PV drivers. Could there be issues specific to Rzyen 7900x and 7950x?
