For PV guests it is _usually_ a domU kernel problem.

I tested using 2.6.32.9 in the domU 1 month ago (or so), 
and I could save/restore just fine.

I tried both 32bit and 64bit guests, and both single-vcpu and multi-vcpu.
my .config was based on Fedora kernel .config.

Please paste your /etc/xen/<guest> cfgfile?
