Hyper-V install fails Gen2 (UEFI) VM

[Solaris17]

Hiya,

When I attempt to install 20.7 into a gen2 VM even with secure boot disabled I cannot get passed the guided/advanced install menu. My keyboard simply will not function. I cannot drop to shell or otherwise interact with it via console. The live environment including GUI however works the entire time (though with perceived increase in CPU usage judging by the GUI).

However I do not run into this issue in a gen1 VM.

Further if I create a gen2 VM after installation and attach the VHD created it will boot without issue.

Just figured id let anyone know.

Thanks for reporting, maybe you're so kind to open a bug report on github for this?

Hello,

Same behaviour noticed on a 6.7.0 ESXI VM configured with EFI, no issue when moving back to BIOS.

Known issue. Ctrl+c and relogin again it will continue and perhaps happens multiple times, but install fine.

Use search in forum, bug is there for ages.
