18.1 Legacy Series / Windows Server 2016 - Not able to install OPNSense 18.1 or 17.7.5 in Hyper-V G.2

« on: April 12, 2018, 03:15:15 pm »

I'm having a lot of trouble with getting OPNsense installed in Hyper-V on a Windows Server 2016.

I noticed that the wiki claims OPNsense supports both Gen.1 and Gen.2 installations in Hyper-V but I can't get it to install at all.


Using "OPNsense-18.1-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso" I will only get;

/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x161c868
elf64_loadimage: read failed
can't load file '/boot/kernel/kernel' : input/output error
can't load file '/boot/kernel/kernel' : input/output error
Error while including /boot/menu.rc in the line:
menu-display
/
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x161c868
elf64_loadimage: read failed
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands. 'help' for more detailed help.
OK


I've tried both regular boot and safe mode.



I have tried with 1GB, 2GB and 4GB RAM with and without dynamic memory enabled. I have tried with 80GB Dynamic VHDX, with 80GB FIXED VHDX and I have tried with VHDX on multiple drives on my server.


With and without Secure Boot enabled. With and without integration services enabled.




I decided to try 17.7.5 while at what as it and that gave me these results;

Using "OPNsense-17.7.5-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso" I only get a endless list of;

vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)

Am I doing something wrong here?
