Are your images fully virtualized or paravirtualized? You may have to 
play some kernel duplication games with paravirtualized.
Can you just do an OS update to CentOS 5 or FC 7, rather than having to 
install from scratch? And can you back up your images somewhere for 
safety's sake before you update?
