(vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab057.1) but encountered a number of errors (missing arguments, duplicated

investigating this I also found a post stating that live migration (which we are particularly interested
in) is only supported on x86/x86-64.

It is working on ARM for some older kernel versions:

I would ask what is the oldest kernel version pretty close to 2.6.32
that would compile for the Rpi?
