Ah, yes. I see in your repo that the latest xen is 4.2.5-20

So, it seems that I’ll go to CentOS 7 and then be set. Thanks for pointing that out.
 
In the repo I see you have xen46. When I get to that point, is it possible to request that you add the --enable-ovmf flag for enabling UEFI on your next release?

Thank you,
Steffan Cline
