CentOS 7 on Hyper-V

Post by sydbarrett74 » 2014/07/18 09:53:52

Hi all,

I'm running a CentOS 7 x64 VM under Hyper-V on a Win8.1 Pro x64 host. The VM is Gen1.

When I go to mount the Microsoft Linux Integration Components DVD and run the install.sh script as root, I get the following errors:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

The rhel63 in that name shows the package is not for CentOS 7 but for CentOS 6. Better ask Microsoft for a newer one...
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

You don't need to install the LIS (Linux Integration Services) when running CentOS7 in Hyper-V on Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2. As of EL6.4, Hyper-V drivers and all that were included.

You can even use a Generation 2 VM for RHEL/CentOS 7.

You can use a Gen2 VM as long as you disable Secure Boot.
