I'm seeing strange behaviour, here. Any guests saved using both managedsave and save commands from virsh won't restore at saved state.

The new boot sequence is confirmed by : - VNC console checks - previous screen sessions lost - uptime I've open a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376333 but had no answer. Any idea on what could happen or how to inspect it?
If you pause ("virsh suspend") the guest before the save, can you then successfully start the domain (it should "start" in a paused state, and when the virsh commandline returns to the prompt, you can resume it with "virsh resume".) If this is the case, it could be a race condition within qemu.
