I cannot go to the command line at both points as the machine is completely frozen. This happens each time I replicate the error. (Just tried again). Paul Groves On 19 Mar 2013, at 02:57, "Andrey Borzenkov" <arvidjaar@gmail.com> wrote:

I am having a problem installing OpenSUSE on a Hyper-V VM an was hoping someone could help me with this issue.
I install from the cd as usual but when it gets to 86% it gives me this error:
An error occurred during initrd creation error disk: 'hd0,2' not found
Output of "grub2-install --debug --force /dev/sda2"
would be interesting (I presume this is /dev/sda2, replace with correct partition)
It then tells me grub failed to install. I tested this same install on a physical machine from the same physical CD and it worked fine so I thought this must be a compatibility issue with Hyper-V.
I read online and discovered I apparently has to install the drivers for the Hyper-v machine for this to install correctly. I checked and these are already in the repositories and selected by default. (The package is called hyper-v). I did however, try to install them manually, it told me they installed correctly but when I continued with the install the same error occurred.
I decided to configure the machine on SUSEStudio and download the pre-made .vhd for Hyper-V
I installed a VM with this .vhd file and it booted up fine. I can reboot the server at this point and every time it boots fine :)
But.... if Iog-in then try to reboot (even if I log straight back out without making any changes) I get the following error after the GRUB boot screen has finished:
waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1 to appear: ..............................Could not find /dev-disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1. Want me to fall back to /dev-disk/by-id/scsi-14d5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000-part1? (Y/n)
Boot with shell=1 kernel parameter, answer "n" to this question. You will be left in initrd shell; what devices *are* available at this point?
I even tried installing the hyper-v integration tools and drivers again before I rebooted but this makes no difference.
I have installed ubuntu, fedora and CentOS on Hyper-V as I read this issue affected any Linux system but they all work fine, OpenSUSE has the same errors every time I try to install on versions 12.3, 12.2, 12.1, 11.4. I even tried a copy of SLES 11.4 I was given with the exact same errors!
Has anyone else come across this issue? I have spent more than a day trying to find a solution to this online!
