You guys basically nailed how I set a hardware type variable when a
system is up and running:
# (two tests here help distinguish xen guest from xen host)
elif grep -q '/dev/mem: mmap: Bad address' $TMP && \
grep -q xen /proc/version ; then
hardware_type=XenVirtual
elif grep -q 'Product Name: VMware Virtual Platform' $TMP; then
hardware_type=VmwareVirtual
where $TMP is a file with the output of dmidecode. But I don't know for
sure if these will work in a kickstart environment.
I'm also hoping someone will provide a detection suggestion for the case
of a fully virtualized KVM guest...

I am using xen -- got this result:

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

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?
Thanks!
