Migrating to a newer (more capable) processor should work. It's when
features silently disappear that guests can get upset. The dom0 kernel does
not matter but the version of the Xen toolstack might -- did you install Xen
and tools yourself on both boxes from a consistent version?

/var/log/xen/xend.log and /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log probably have
interesting info if things are going wrong (the logs may be big: if so it's
the tail that's interesting).
