Help, I'm trying to get save/restore working, and I keep running into troubles.
I don't know where to look next.

first I had to get to xen-3.0.2 in order to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU guess x86_64 didn't have it yet Then I had one success, with one domU, save, restore, etc. [w/debian] Then I attempted with another domU, [w/centos and 7G of ram.] and it failed. Since then I haven't been able to save any domU.

xm save just fails, and leaves the domU in shutdown state.

[root ~]# xm list

Xend.log says this:

Any help would be much appreciated, I don't know where to go from here.
