It's my understanding that 32bit PV vms would run on 64bit hosts with
Xen 3.1. However, this doesn't seem to work. Attempting to use
virt-install from 64bit using a 32bit source files (over http) dies
almost instantly. Creating the 32bit PV vm on a 32-bit system and
copying to 64bit also doesn't work (dies at start before even a hint
of starting.) Same when migrating a 32bit to a 64 bit (again, dies
instantly.) Am I wrong about 32bit on 64bit hosts?
We weren't too clear in the release notes unfortunately. When we updated to
the Xen 3.1.0 hypervisor & userspace we gained the ability to run 32-bit
guests on 64-bit HV in theory. To make it work in practice we're waiting
on some updates to the kernel Dom0 drivers. Hopefully we'll get these into
an update kernel-xen without too much delay...
