Re: [Xen-users] Xen 4.0 - prerequisites for succesfull live migration?

["Olivier B." <xen.list@xxxxxxxxx>]

Which kernel are you using on DomU ?

For me, the same DomU can me migrate or no, depending only of the kernel 
used on it. With a 2.6.32.42 pvops, I can't migrate any DomU, if I 
reboot the DomU with a 2.6.39.2 pvops, it works fine.
