Use dmidecode in the %pre (or %post) Example, if this is Vmware, the following works: dmidecode | grep Manufacturer | head -1 | grep VMware if [ $? = 0 ] ; then do whatever for vms else do whatever not for vms fi -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terry McIntyre Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 2:59 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: how determine if kickstarting a virtual host? I'd like to have kickstart.ks behave differently when running on a virtual host. For example, it makes little sense to start the microcode_ctl service on a virtual host; that would be taken care of by the "real" server. How can I reliably detect this?
