Hi,
Hello,

Thanks for your inputs. As you have mentioned, I tried to boot Xen 
directly from EFI, thereby skipping GRUB. I made sure that kernel, 
xen.cfg and ramdisk are on the first FAT partition. I still get "All 128 
bootinfo membanks exhausted error". The following link has my grub.cfg 
config. file and also the snapshot of the error.

I feel that even with EFI bootloader, there's some issue with bootinfo 
mem banks and it maynot be a bug in GRUB. Let me know your thoughts on this.
As I wrote a few weeks ago. Both issues ("mem banks exhausted" and 
"Cannot exit boot services") are meant to be non-fatal. So you should be 
able to continue booting Xen afterwards.
The fact you don't see any log seems to suggest that you didn't enable 
properly earlyprintk. Would you be able to post your xen/.config?
Could you also confirm which server are you using? The ACPI table seems 
to suggest this is an Ampere Altra.
Best regards,
