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:

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!

Hi All, I have attached below the full error details from OpenSUSE 12.3 x86_64 (64-bit) when installing on Hyper-V R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. Can anyone make sense of this and if possible, can anyone explain what this error means? I am new to all of this and was hoping to experiment with OpenSUSE as a server (but obviously haven't gotten very far yet :P). What baffles me is that ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS all install fine... Does anyone understand why this could be? -----An error occurred during initrd creation----- Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.7.10-1.1-desktop Initrd image: /boot/initrd-3.7.10-1.1-desktop Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14d53465420202020316d649b43c4c740ab596834b8e2babf-part2 (/dev/sda2) (mounted on / as ext4) Kernel Modules: thermal_sys thermal processor fan hv_vmbus hv_storvsc hv_netvsc ata_piix ata_generic scsi_dh scsi_dh_alua acsi_sh_hp_sw scsi_dh_emc Features: acpi fv_guest block Perl-Bootloader: 2013-03-18 18:44:12 <3> pbl-1547.2 Core::RunCommand.1642: Error: Command 'usr/sbin/grub2-install --target=i386-pc --force --skip-fs-probe "(hd0,2)" > /var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader 2>&1' failed with code 256 and output: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: disk 'hd0,2 not found.

This has no effect with 12.3 an I still get the error at 86% upon installation.
