Severity: important

Hi,

# xm new --help_config
WARNING!  Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!

# uname -a 
Linux mysqueeze-2 2.6.32-5-xen-686 #1 SMP Thu Aug 12 18:09:47 UTC 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux

This is the same bug that:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580500

In that bug you comment:
"
> [    0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware

The kernel does not run on Xen. Closing as user error.
"

This is the same message which appear in my machine in syslog (I'm attaching 
dmesg output).

Maybe dropping a note in /usr/share/doc/xen*/README.Debian would be a good idea 
about how to solve this issue.

In my environment (cleaner squeeze install), installing 
xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-686 adds 4 boot entries to grub menu.

First entry (default entry) will give me this message error. But if I boot with 
third entry (which talk about booting xen kernel and 4.0 xen flavour) then xm 
commands start working, but the same message (Booting paravirtualized kernel on 
bare hardware) is shown too in dmesg.

So, which is the "user error" in this case ?

Thank you very much!
