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...
