Title: 21.7.1 on Hyper-V Gen 2
Post by: bradforr on September 15, 2021, 02:19:24 pm

Hi

I'm having an issue installing 21.7.1 on a Server 2019 Hyper-V Gen 2 VM with SecureBoot switched off from the DVD ISO.

It launches the installer, goes through most of the process but at the Final Configuration stage, I cannot interact with the VM. I have tried Ctrl + C but it doesn't do anything.

Advice?

Since it's booting I don't think this is the cause, but can you create a fresh vm as gen 1 and see if you get the same issue?  It's possible secure boot is preventing something from loading as it should, maybe the keyboard/mouse driver.  I've ran into some strange issues running linux in gen 2 vm's, but usually related to booting.

I haven't tried a clean install for a while, but the last times I've tried, the installation froze at a couple of places, requiring CTL-C and login to proceed. The installer hasn't worked cleanly for a long time. Possibly what you are seeing is related.
