In my dom0's virt-what (Debian package version 1.25-1) prints: xen xen-hvm Indeed the man page leads one to expect xen-dom0 on the second line. In a PVH domU (I don't have an HVM one handy right now) it does print xen xen-domU I can confirm that dmidecode works in the dom0, and prints the "No SMBIOS"... message in my PVH domU. And yes, the dom0 does have control_d in /proc/xen/capabilities (although virt-what doesn't reach that test at the moment). Should the tests be reordered somehow? > > Rich. > > -- > Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones > Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com > virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
