Tomasz: Did you have dynamic scaling and HVM enabled for the Ubuntu 14.04 template you tested with? If we change the OS-type to Ubuntu 12.04 (PV) or disable dynamic scaling everything works as it should.
The disabling of intremap didn't solve this for us so we have locked the issue down to affect snapshot w/memory / live migration for Ubuntu 14.04 (HVM). The hosts still crashes like earlier but no crash dump / kernel panic is logged like earlier. We managed to get the data from serial port so we have a case filed for this. However it would be very interesting to know if this also affect others. 2015-04-10 13:36 GMT+02:00 Jan-Arve Nygård <jan.arve.nyg...@gmail.com>: > Yep!
