Well, I don't get it.
They're both Intel Xeons, but on the old box, the contents of
/proc/cpuinfo differ from the output of ``cpuid'' -- cpuinfo doesn't
list vme/vmx, but cpuid does. Also, /proc/cpuinfo on the new system
lists *8* cores, but I coulda sworn that Dell's deal was for 2
dual-core Xeons. Gotta lookit that onsite tomorrow.
But anyway, here's a diff against ``cpuid'' on both boxen. "onion" is
the old one, "wilbur" is the new one:

Does this mean that an offline migration will work? If I can just
shut down the domU and then ``tar | nc | tar'', I'm thrilled. VMWare
won't run a VM from the old system on the new one.
