Description David Juran 2006-12-18 13:16:08 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061107 Fedora/1.5.0.8-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.8

Description of problem:
When trying to do 'xm migrate" on a PV guest, the operation (most often) fails and the blurb below ends up in the xend log. The weird thing is that _once_ I've gotten it to work. Every other time, with the same configuration it fails with the error below...

There have been many updates to the Xen RPM since 3.0.3-0.1.rc3, so please
re-test with latest errata & if it no longer has a problem close this ticket.
