Hi,

mostly if you have one old and one modern CPU it works on one direction.

During some prototyping a while ago I was always able to migrate from an
old Intel P3-system to an "modern" AMD Athlon-system, while the way back
most times result in a crash of the VM.

But I had better success with Intel P4 and Intel Xeon CPUs (both with
first generation of HVM-support), where I could do migration on both
directions without any errors!
