but it's better to use actually released 9.1 source code.
that should be effectively virt-9.1 machine type
(unless something changed between rc0 and release version)

show us CLI on source side (i.e. qemu instance where you saved state,
it should be the same as below modulo '-incoming' option)

and that should've worked

that isn't meant to work.

let's see src CLI first, and then ask someone who knows more about migration and how to troubleshoot it
