hi,

what's the correct/recommended way to wrap conditional code in opensuse init.d scripts to exec on a -xen boot?

e.g., i need to add some module exec stmts to /etc/init.d/boot.local that are specific to kernel-xen, that cause errors/warnings in boot logs -- an an occasional hang -- if they are exec'd at boot to a NON-xen (e.g., kernel-default) kernel. so, i want to check for status = {booted to kernel-xen}, and exec only if matched.

should one check for current kernel via uname? something in /sys/... of /proc/... ?

This is what I have in my /etc/init.d/boot.local to disable VMware in case Linux is booting on a Xen dom0: if [ -s /sys/hypervisor/type ]; then if [ "$(cat /sys/hypervisor/type)" = "xen" ]; then : echo Add stuff for Xen kernels here [ -s /etc/init.d/vmware ] && \ insserv -r /etc/init.d/vmware fi else : echo Add non Xen stuff here [ -s /etc/init.d/vmware ] && \ mount /proc/bus/usb fi

i understand there are many possible checks; the question is - which, if any, is the 'right' one in this case?

thanks.
