global has_pcmcia () -> boolean

true if the system supports PCMCIA But modern notebook computers do not have it. See also Bugzilla #151813#c10

Return value:
true if the system supports PCMCIA
See
is_laptop
global is_laptop () -> boolean

true if the system runs on laptop

Return value:
if the system is a laptop
global is_uml () -> boolean

This function is deprecated.

true if UML

Return value:
true if the system is UML
global is_xen () -> boolean

true if Xen kernel is running (dom0 or domU)

Return value:
true if the Xen kernel is running
global is_xen0 () -> boolean

true if dom0 Xen kernel is running

Return value:
true if the Xen kernel is running in dom0
See
is_xenU is_xen
global is_xenU () -> boolean

true if domU Xen kernel is running

Return value:
true if the Xen kernel is running in another domain than dom0
See
is_xen0 is_xen
global setSMP (boolean is_smp) -> void

Set "Arch::has_smp ()". Since Alpha doesn't reliably probe smp, 'has_smp' must be set later with this function.

Parameters:
is_smp true if has_smp should be true
Example 
 setSMP(true);
global has_smp () -> boolean

true if running on multiprocessor board. This only reflects the board, not the actual number of CPUs or the running kernel!

Return value:
true if running on multiprocessor board
global x11_setup_needed () -> boolean

run X11 configuration after inital boot this is false in case of: installation on iSeries, installation on S390

Return value:
true when the X11 configuration is needed after inital boot
See
Installation::x11_setup_needed
