So interesting and challenging too, IT seems to Xen compatibility to Dell board BIOS related.
I have Dell R710 and R7200 with same Xen version, but the outcome is completely different, that R720 is slow in performance and reboot too.

OK, I have a new CentOS-6 4.9.20-26 kernel here for testing:
https://people.centos.org/hughesjr/4.9.16/6/x86_64/
I am building the el7 one right now as well, it will be at:
https://people.centos.org/hughesjr/4.9.16/7/x86_64/
George and I found some issues with the 4.9.x config files for the xen
kernel. Hopefully this one is much more stable as it has many changes
from the fedora/rhel type configs now (what is built into the kernel,
what is loaded as a kernel module, etc.)
Please test these kernels so we can get them released.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

CentOS-6 4.9.20-26 kernel exhibits the same constant kernel-start-then-reboot issue when booting under the "CentOS Linux, with Xen hypervisor" grub2 menu option. However, it *does* properly boot under the "CentOS Linux (4.9.20-25.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)" grub2 menu option!A semi-close look at the /etc/grub2.cfg yields no discernible difference between a properly functional Dell R620 and the non-properly functioning Dell R710.Sorry, I had been distracted with other issues and have not yet submitted information to the xen-devel group yet.ThanksPJ
