I tried to install Bionic server as a guest on XenServer 7.0. After booting the iso I get a black terminal saying:
vbd vbd-5696: 19 xenbus_dev_probe on device/vbd/5696
And that's it. Did anyone have more success or can point me to a way to resolve this?

There seems to be no internet-available information on Ubuntu 18.04 and Xenserver, probably because it is not a supported guest OS.

Ubuntu 18.04 is not a supported guest on Citrix Xenserver 7.0, and it isn't even a supported guest on Xenserver 7.5CR as of May 2018. So, Your Mileage May Vary.
You can get it to boot in Xenserver by choosing EDD=on and nolapic from the installer boot parameters by pressing F6 at the first boot screen.
What do these options do? There's a great explanation here.
Reference:
If you edit the installer boot entry and remove quiet splash --- you will likely see a kernel boot messages like:
BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-June25, 0 devices found
EDD information not available.
....just before the booting stops.
Please note that the VM doesn't hang or crash, it just waits forever.
I found that the ubiquity installer hangs at the start of "Copying Files" and does not continue.
Attempts to install Ubuntu server 18.04 also required EDD=on and nolapic, and although the install was successful, the first boot required adding EDD=on and nolapic to the kernel parameters, and once booted network adapter was unable to communicate.
