The first time you run Hyper-V, you need to accept their specific EULA.txt: Launch "Microsoft Virtual PC" in Start Menu > Administrative Tools > Hyper-V Manager. If you haven't installed Hyper-V, check Installing Hyper-V below. I've picked the NetInst CD (at the time of writing, debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso). Pick the Installation that best fits you needs, from. Hyper-V doesn't seems to provide audio emulation, at all. which is anoying if you have a smaller screen (you can force it in ) Under Lenny, the Emulated screen always pretend to be 1600x1200. vga= works, but you can't switch between X11 and the console (it causes the system to crash).Using xrandr causes the Xserver to restart.It works quite well under both Etch and Lenny (Xorg 7.3). The Xorg server uses vesa driver (since Microsoft has developed a weird proprietary device PCI:1414:5353). However, the inputvsc driver requires the "Linux Integration Services" drivers, see discussion above, to be built and installed. In order to get this "enlightened" mouse, you will need to build and install the "inputvsc" driver from the Citrix Satori Project. This has to do with the Debian install not being aware that it is dealing with an "enlightened" virtualized mouse. (The error message says "Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session"). However, you can't use use the mouse inside your machine if you connect to the server using RDP. The drivers were bundled with kernel version 2.6.32, but are slated for removal by 2.6.35. Microsoft has alternated between providing and not providing non-official support for the Linux IC drivers.Microsoft only supports certain guest operating systems (like Windows, Suse and flavors of Red Hat).However, this procedure is non-trivial because: The result will be that a non-legacy network adapter can be added from the Hyper-V Manager, vastly improving speed & functionality.

Solution: Build and install the "Linux Integration Services" drivers, freely available from Microsoft. Left click on the nm-applet then click on "Wired Network" (each time you reboot)Ĭreate a the file /etc/default/NetworkManager to prevent NetworkManager from disabling the interface : #Exit to prevent NetworkManager from running So NetworkManager will show an unplugged device (see bug 490816 and gnome's 542916). The device (or driver) has no link detection. The emulated device is a "Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 " PCI id:1011:0009. Here are the configuration / compatibility notes on how to install Debian.There is a step by step guide on how to declare the VM in Hyper-V. But the installation process itself isn't longer The display is drawn very slowly during the installation (under Lenny, for newt only, not for installgui). Passing vga=XXX may cause some problem when you switch from X11 to console.= Configuration Required = Only works with a proprietary driver = OK Unsupported(No Driver) = Error (Couldn't get it working) Unknown, Not Test Not-applicable
