Good day.

I found that newer version of kernel (2.6.34-xen) from gentoo (wich one
is stealed somewere (suse? not sure)) adopted to debian works fine.

At least within my tests (4 cycles of migration between every of 6
testings servers) I was unable to reproduce bugs.

I'll continue to tests, if I was wrong and bug still exists, I'll mail
about this.

PS Migration tested on XCP 0.5 by xe vm-migrate command.
