If one of your servers is running KVM, that's likely your problem.
Ahh, very interesting.Just to make sure I understand correctly, this means VM snapshots made when QEMU has KQEMU enabled will not transfer between machines, right?
Or do you mean that the *whole image* (the entire qcow2) cannot be transferred?
I ask because now that I've got VNC working on my headless server, I note that my XP guest -- despite being started from a binary identical image that works fine on my Ubuntu host -- immediately and infinitely BSoDs on startup.
I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the same QEMU XP image would work across multiple hosts, even those with different processors and motherboards. Am I misunderstanding this?
(Just for grins I even converted the qcow2 image to raw, to filter out any special qcow2 issues. No effect.)
