I did not, actually; I'm using the stock versions from the FC6 /  
Debian Etch repo's.  I could try that.
One of these machines just lost a hard disk; I'm not eager to try  
anything interesting until I can replace it, so I'll play around with  
this when the new drive comes in.
A recent e-mail mentioned that migration machines have to be on the  
same L2 subnet (I missed that line in the Xen manual).  These  
machines aren't; they're in different buildings, with IP routing  
between them (though the connection speed and latency are very  
good).  I'll try putting the machines on the same subnet.

OK; I'll take a look at those.

Thanks,
