[Bug 942316] Re: Installing on Hyper-V doesn't launch

[Tim Miller Dyck]

For those using 12.04 beta1 on Hyper-V, a workaround to the CD-ROM bug
above (until beta 2 comes out) is to boot the initial installer with an
additional kernel flag to not switch to using the Hyper-V IDE drivers.
The boot flags can be viewed by pressing F5? F6? (one of those) on the
setup boot screen and then navigating to the boot line with cursor keys
and adding the boot parameter below before the double dash at the end of
the line.

The flag to disable the Hyper-V IDE drivers is:

 ata_piix.prefer_ms_hyperv=0

The CD-ROM install then proceeds as usual.

Regards,
Tim Miller Dyck

  If I use a daily ISO build of precise using ISO's from 20120227
  (ftp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/20120227/precise-
  desktop-i386.iso) on Windows Server Hyper-V, the VM never gets into
  the GUI for setup, and instead dumps me into a busybox shell.
