Well, anaconda doesn't run with the xen host kernel, so ... :)
How does anaconda make the determination that it is running in a domU?
Existence of /proc/xen/capabilities as Joel said
So the OP's question is answered, and also how to use the content, or
lack thereof, of the capabilities file to make a determination outside
of anaconda.
It's just curiosity at this point, but I'm looking for a chicken or an
egg somewhere, in the loader maybe? /proc/xen/capabilities doesn't
exist till the xen kernel is loaded. Where is the magic that knows to
load a xen kernel during a domU install?
I don't use xen kernels on some of my guests, even when I have a
functional xen host.
It depends on the CPU.
