Issue #7723 has been updated by Luke Bigum.

Hi Jacob,

I've just found this bug and it's affecting me as well: running Fedora 15 on 
various hardware and the 'virtual' fact is being set to 'xenu', as well as the 
'is_virtual' fact being set to 'true' when these are these are definitely bare 
metal systems, eg:

[root@host ~]# dmidecode -s system-product-name
TYAN Transport GT25-B5381
[root@host ~]# facter is_virtual virtual
is_virtual => true
virtual => xenu

This is for a bare metal server that isn't running anything Xen.

If you need more information, let me know.
----------------------------------------
Bug #7723: virtual xenu incorrectly detected on newer kernels.

Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal

Target version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 1.5.9


Newer mainline linux kernels have xen included, so testing for the existence of 
/sys/bus/xen will now give a false positive.
