Package: xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-686 Version: 2.6.32-20 Severity: important Hi, # xm new --help_config WARNING! Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs! # uname -a Linux mysqueeze-2 2.6.32-5-xen-686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 12 18:09:47 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux This is the same bug that: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580500 In that bug you comment: " > [ 0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware The kernel does not run on Xen. Closing as user error. " This is the same message which appear in my machine in syslog (I'm attaching dmesg output). Maybe dropping a note in /usr/share/doc/xen*/README.Debian would be a good idea about how to solve this issue. In my environment (cleaner squeeze install), installing xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-686 adds 4 boot entries to grub menu. First entry (default entry) will give me this message error. But if I boot with third entry (which talk about booting xen kernel and 4.0 xen flavour) then xm commands start working, but the same message (Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware) is shown too in dmesg. So, which is the "user error" in this case ?
