I have tried updating the bios, disabling hyperthreading, adding xen.efi to its proper location within Ubuntu, building xen from source, etc. Yet I cannot get past the following error

a Xen panic stating "IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!"

Does anyone know how to get past this error? My computer cannot run in legacy mode so I cannot boot xen by default.

Interesting. Exactly what is this hardware? Be specific. – Michael Hampton Sep 24 '21 at 01:38

A consumer laptop? I wish you good luck with that. You probably will get absolutely nowhere unless ASUS issues a BIOS update that fixes the problem, which is a total crapshoot. – Michael Hampton Sep 24 '21 at 01:49
