Description:   Opened: 2006-09-21 03:48 0000 
Hello everybody,

I added xend to my default runlevel. Now every time I boot my system with a
kernel that is not xen enabled I get really ugly output. Would be nice to have
the xend init script check if the kernel has Xen support.

I fixed this by creating a new runlevel called "xen" which starts the xen and
xendomains daemons.  It also switches to the xorg-x11 opengl interface because
you can't install the nvidia driver with a xen kernel.  I choose the xen or
non-xen kernel using grub.  I think its better this way.

While a Xen-specific runlevel is the preferred way of dealing with this,
there's no reason why we shouldn't make /etc/init.d/xend behave in a more
Gentoo-like way (ie. avoiding the python stack traces). The iptables init.d
script does a similar check for kernel-level support, which I'm taking as a
precedent.

Fixed in app-emulation/xen-tools-3.0.2-r4, thanks.
