Re: [Xen-devel] Migrate/Save of 32-bit domU Broken on Xen 3.1.2 64-bit dom0

[Joshua West <jwest@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kurt & Xen Developers,

I applied those two patches to Xen 3.1.3-rc1.  Unfortunately, the issue 
still persists.  xc_save fails and therefore save/migrate doesn't work.  
However, I did receive a different error message this time.  Here's the 
snippit from /var/log/xen/xend.log:

#----------------------------------------------------------#

Just to make sure the patches aren't the cause of this new error 
message, I'm going to see what happens with Xen 3.1.3-rc1 w/o patches.
Kurt, Keir, everybody else... any ideas as to why "xm save" (and thus 
"xm migrate") of 32-bit domU's does not work on 64-bit dom0's?  Has 
anybody found this to be successful in the past?
Thanks.
