David,
This is probably a “something stupid” related to Linux more than Xen. It
sounds like the system isn’t booting at all, and the most likely cause is that
the drivers necessary for the SAS are not in the kernel. Linux picks
appropriate drivers for the machine you install on and then all updates use
those drivers, so when you move to new hardware, it just doesn’t work. If
you copy the kernel and modules from the working machine to the machine that
didn’t work when you did your dd_rescue, it might boot with them, however, when
it comes time to update, you will need to manually compile your new kernels
instead of using the standard automated update method, i.e. do the standard
update, ut then do a custom compile and boot to the custom kernel, not the one
from the standard update, as it ill crash, but the custom compiled one will be
compatible with the other changes made by the automatic update. This is
far from detailed and complete, as it has been a while since I have dealt with
that kind of thing, but I most often experienced it switching from
“Compatibility Mode” SATA to AHCI on some machines that I didn’t want to
rebuild. I n your case, a rebuild on the problem machine is probably a
better option, as you can then migrate whatever you want however you want to a
clean machine with no thorn in its side.
