This is on your box with the USB dongle. I meant the other one.

Maybe we should step back a bit. On the machine on which you
want to install Xen - does it work if you install say
Fedora Core 23 and after installing, you do 'yum install xen' ?
Can you boot with that? Then at least we will know whether an
packaged version of Xen works on your machine.
