Just did a reboot. After 2 kernel updates and what looks like a qemm

QEMM is not showing any available virtual machines.

It works!
on F35 machine as root:
virsh dumpxml fedora21 > f21.xml
move f21.xml via USB stick to F38 and on F38 machine:
virsh f21.xml create
all done. And I can save the xml for future migrations...
thanks
