Problems with loadvm

[cstrav]

I keep many snapshots stored for my vms, since I am using Proxmox VE in a lab environment. After upgrading to 1.5, I am having serious problems with loadvm. It silently fails to restore snapshots in many cases. This occurs with both the 2.6.24 kernel and the 2.6.32 kernel.

It seems as if some of the snapshots have become corrupt, but I don't know how to troubleshoot the issue. Is there a way to debug loadvm?

Sorry, but savevm/loadvm only works if you use the same kernel - this was never intended to be used accross different kernels - at least we never tested that here.

So you have to throw snapshots away if you upgrade? When you say same kernel, do you mean that they can't be used even with a minor version upgrade?
