there are two files to change/check before migration
* /etc/inittab :: console terminal (XEN PV domUs do use hvc console and KVM
VM employ normal linux
console)
-c1:12345:/respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 hvc0 linux
+c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 ttyS0 linux
* /etc/fstab :: XEN PV do use xvdN volumes and KVM VM volume naming is
canonical
-/dev/xvdb none swap sw 0 0
+/dev/sdb none swap sw 0 0
the migration itself is automated; linode did it for me flawlessly: few minutes
of downtime needed
to convert images and to move them to different hardware (in my case)
