I have the same issue. Apparently there are patches for this error, which only affects intel: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/185593 For logging the output is the same as in the above thread: Xen call trace =========xsave_init + 0x6d/0x1f0 init_intel + 0x13d/0x380 generic_identity + 0x39/0x190 identify_cpu + 0xe2/0x250 __start_xen + 0x2ec6/0x3340 __high_start + 0xa1/0xa3 Error message: ==========Panic on CPU 0: Xen BUG at i387.c:159 For more info: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 In Xen 4.0.1 there's a bug in HVM guest save/restore/livemigration on Intel CPUs, related to XSAVE feature. As a workaround you can add "no-xsave" as an option to Xen command line in grub.conf. This issue is fixed in Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre with this patch: http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-4.0-testing.hg?rev/16867267ac12 . -- Marcus Furlong
