Re: Hyper-V Guests: Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Released

Thanks very much Matthew. I'm looking forward to your report. So far I've been unsuccessful using the ICs under Ubuntu 9.10 with the 2.6.32 kernel packages from kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/. But I'm inexperienced and am likely doing things incorrectly.

Thanks again for all your efforts regarding Linux on Hyper-V.

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Released

Yes that particular kernel image was not compiled with the hyper-v modules, thus will not work for hyper-v guests. I did find one in the Lucid Lynx repositories which has the proper modules, HOWEVER, I have not published yet because I have found issues with the storage devices... So if you do end up using this or any other kernel under Ubuntu 9.10. Please ensure that you DO NOT load the hv_storvsc module (additionally there may be issues with the hv_blkvsc - however I have been focusing on the other for now)...

More to come...

In my previous post "any other kernel" I am referring to any other kernel image you installed or compiled which is 2.6.32.

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Released

Any news on this? Which kernel for 9.10 has the modules?

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Released

Timur,

At this point 2.6.32 has not worked its way into any released linux distribution, so you will have to manually compile for your distribution.

Currently I have articles on the following:
Manual Compile on Debian 5 amd64 - blog.allanglesit.com/Blog/tabid/66/EntryId/44/Hyper-V-Guests-Compile-Linux-2-6-32-on-Debian.aspx
Manual Compile on Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 - blog.allanglesit.com/Blog/tabid/66/EntryId/43/Hyper-V-Guests-Compile-Linux-2-6-32-on-Ubuntu.aspx

Also I am working on the following:
Manual Compile on Fedora 12 amd64
Release of my build of the Ubuntu/Debian Linux Kernel image (deb)
Release of my build of the Fedora/Red Hat Linux Kernel image (rpm)
Additionally I plan to circle back and validate my compile instructions on previous versions of Fedora and Ubuntu.

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Linux Kernel 2.6.32 Released

Less than a week after Linux kernel 2.6.31 was released, the kernel developers are beginning to submit changes and improvements across virtualization, power management, file systems and device driver code for the upcoming 2.6.32 version.

If you've got time this year, try and save some money by comparing the
rates of a few auto insurance brokers. In these competitive times,
there's a good possibility that someone is hungry to underwrite you
for your auto insurance. There are now some sophisticated insurance
comparison engines on the Canadian market that can compare rates from
multiple sources, and provide you with a list of those with the most
competitive offerings.

Very informative article! Keep it coming Matthew!

Thanks for such interesting post – I appreciate.

Hi,
Any plan for an article explaining how to manually compile HyperV modules on Fedora 13...?
