[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#646617: KVM guest wrongly detected as physical host

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Package: facter
Version: 1.6.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Since upgrading facter from 1.6.1-1 to 1.6.2-1 my KVM guest (running 
Wheezy, host is Wheezy qemu-kvm with libvirt) does not detect the
state correctly anymore. It shows the VM being a physical system.

The broken detection of KVM guests when virtualizing a specific model 
using the "-cpu" flag is tracked upstream in 
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210 . Since the (wrong) detection 
of newer kernels as xenu has been fixed in 1.6.2 (bug #641861) the guest 
isn't even reported as virtual anymore.
