how determine if kickstarting a virtual host?

[Shabazian, Chip]

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!
