Re: [Qemu-devel] Are VM snapshots on Ubuntu host compatible with Fedora host?

[David Barrett <dbarrett@quinthar.com>]

Following up on this, I created a brand-new WinXP image from scratch (on 
my Ubuntu box), uploaded to my headless Fedora box, and it still has the 
  exact same crash:

qemu: warning: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'ram'
qemu: fatal: triple fault

So is it safe to say that QEMU VM snapshots are not transferable between 
hosts?
