Vmotion migration error

Dear folks,

When trying to put a host in maintenance mode, everything migrates fine except a CentOS VM that reports back the following error:

Failed to receive migration.

To revert to this snapshot, change the host pixel format to match that of the guest. The host's current settings are: depth 24, bits per pixel 32. The guest's current settings are: depth 24, bits per pixel 32.

An error occurred restoring the virtual machine state during migration.

I tried to move it manually and I get the same problem.

Could you please give me some advice on this?

Thank you,

Christian

I've seen this with unsupported kernel versions. There is a little bit of information about this here:

VMPlayer cannot restore state: "Host pixel format" problem
