[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#641861: facter reports wrong virtual platform with backports kernel

[Lars Bahner]

Package: facter
Version: 1.5.9-1~bpo60+1
Severity: normal

Not quite sure if this is a problem with facter or the backports kernel.
Anyways: I use vmware, but when running facter on this kernel $virtual is
reported as "xenu" instead of "vmware".

Reverting to baseline kernel brings back "vmware" - the correct answer.
