Description David Juran 2006-12-18 13:16:08 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:

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.

Sorry for the long delay but this is indeed fixed on xen-3.0.3-8.fc6
