I think the issue was down to the 2.6.18 kernel Ferenc was using since I never saw the it with 2.6.25 based stuff but I did previously see it with 2.6.18 when I first played with d-i+xen (ages and ages ago). > > * Would a simple [ -d /sys/bus/xen ] check do? > > I guess that would be OK. Unless a different test could also catch other > virtualized environments. So far I haven't found a need for any Xen specific checks when I've been working through this stuff (other than obvious things like supporting xvd devices) and I'd really like to avoid adding any if at all possible. If one does become necessary a check on /sys/bus/xen seems like the best current option since neither /proc/xen nor /sys/hypervisor exist in 2.6.25. I'm a bit stuck on getting finish-install.d/90console to create a getty on hvc0 without a Xen hack but I'll keep thinking... Ian. -- Ian Campbell Hold the MAYO & pass the COSMIC AWARENESS ...
