[Fedora-xen] Xen migration problems

Hi,

I've been trying to test out Xen migration, but keep running into a
kernel Oops/crash. It might be my setup or I might be running into some
other problem, but I've searched mailing lists/google and haven't found
anything that has helped.

I'm using 3 FC5 boxes all running the latest kernels, updates, etc:

One box to export a mounted image file generated with
xenguest-install.py via AoE using vblade (have also tried using NFS to
export a directory containing the image file).

The other 2 boxes are running Xen. The guest starts and runs on either
Xen box without a problem, but when trying to do a migration or a live
migration between the 2 Xen boxes, in either direction, I run into the
kernel crash.

The migration actually moves the guest from one box to the other, but it
stops responding via the network, and when logging in using 'xm console'
I see a kernel call trace. The guest kinda still works other than
networking not working at all, so I tried doing a service network
restart, but this causes the guest to totally lock up. If the guest is
rebooted it works fine.

Bellow is the kernel call trace and what is in the destination Xen
server's xend.log.

Thanks
Cameron
