Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Thanks for the article! I was having trouble finding this info.

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Great post!

Now if only the Mouse components would compile - I get an error compiling hid_input.c after altering the setup.pl to point to hv_vmbus and kernel/drivers/staging/hv

Have you had any luck?

Thanks again

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Thanks for the info. Noob here...is this theoretically all I have to do to get a freshly-installed 32-bit 9.10 Hyper-V guest to connect to the interwebs?

I have a loopback lan adapter installed inside the Server 2K8R2 host which works fine for a Server 2K8R2 x64 guest, but doesn't work OOB with the Ubuntu instance.

Are there "guest additions" for Hyper-V?

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Hi Novka,

Most likely you updated the kernel as part of the apt-get upgrade this new kernel will not have the modules loaded. You will need to rebuild the initrd for that kernel to load the modules. Look at step 1 in this article, additionally with the update-initramfs command there is an option to specify the kernel to update the initrd for (in case you need to boot with the kernel that you loaded the modules with in order to fix the new kernel).

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Thank, but I am little noob :-)
I am doing the following:
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade
view to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ...all modules is here
#update-initramfs –u
reboot and system is dead :-/

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

# update-initramfs -u will only rebuild the initrd image (this is where your modules are loaded) for the kernel which is currently running, unless you use the switch to specify another kernel (use man to find what it is I can't remember off my head).

Also if you are having a kernel panic preventing you from booting, go into the grub menu and try boot to the older kernel. You can also try removing the noprobe switches and what not, then reinstall the Linux ICs.

Very good, info, very easy with ubuntu 10.04 final with windows 2008 r2

but what is the solution for mouse

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Hi
I installed Ubuntu in "minimal virtual machine configuration" and hv_* modules would not load. Does this mean I installed kernel without Linux IC or am I missing something?
Thanks

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Hah! Finally, i've been struggling to get the newest Ubuntu 10.4 and figuring out how to install the LICs. Thank you so much for this info.

So i'm assuming, and from reading the above, if i upgrade to a new kernel, i have to repeat the procedure?

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

How do you configure things such that the emulated devices do not load...for example the emulated Virtual Hard Drive (sda) still shows up even after the synthetic drivers have loaded so that now both sda and hda show up. Also, how does one go about getting Xorg to recognize the video device?

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

looks like high load on seth mess up virtual network... sometimes network become unreachable. i saw this on 2.6.32.22 kernel, but on 2.6.32.21 it was ok... or i havent enought time for testing. any suggestions?

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Hello, I do everything descript in this article, but my networking still no working.
fresh install on windows 2008 r2
What I miss?

thank you

Re: Hyper-V Guests: Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Synthetic Devices

Fabulous! Thank you, Matthew!
Was strugling with ubuntu and hyper-v for several years. Finally decided to try 10.04 and found this article. Now it's nearly flawless (with NX for remote gui).
