Hyper-V on Win Server 2008 Standard

  • 772

Setup is as follows:

OS: Windows Server 2008 Standard CPU: AMD 1055T (Six core AMD)

I'm attempting to install CentOS 6.4 (64-bit) VM on it. During the install, I run into issues.

The graphical installer does not seem to allow the mouse to work. (I'm RDPing to the host machine as I do not have console access).

The text installer seems to be fine, except for the fact that it's not detecting the IDE VHD hard-disk that is attached. The attached VHD is blank.

Blank VHD labeled OpenAS Other example (likely the same issue):

When attempting to use OpenVPN access server's virtual appliance. I get a lot of:

hv_vmbus: probe of vmbus_0_4 failed with error -110

At the end:

ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/284b1cdc-c74d-47df-b7ea-1f99c01594e4 does not exist.  Dropping to shell.

  1. How big is the drive? Due to Hyper-V restrictions it cannot be larger than 128GB. http://www.andrew-kirkpatrick.com/2013/01/how-to-install-centos-6-on-microsoft-hyper-v/

    I note in the 2nd screenshot that vmbus_0_1, vmbus_0_2 and vmbus_0_4 error out, that vmbus_0_3 does not; from the first I'd assume this is the virtual CD drive (i.e. IDE bus 1 dev 1); This implies that the problem does not lie with the kernel that the CentOS installer is using; Also, the drive is identified somehow, as it references a UUID. May I suggest that running /sbin/modinfo hv_vmbus in the ash shell as well as fdisk -l may give firther insight.

    Regardless, if the drive is greater that 128GB, try vcreating a new vhd <128GB;
