This page explains how to use Debian under Microsoft Hyper-V (Windows Server 2008/R2).

• Microsoft Virtual PC is a non-free (proprietary) software. It isn't supported by Debian. It's probably wiser to use a free Virtualization tool.

Overall Status

Legend :
= OK ; Unsupported(No Driver) ; = Error (Couldn't get it working); [?] Unknown, Not Test ; [-] Not-applicable
= Configuration Required; = Only works with a proprietary driver

Important Note

• Passing vga=XXX may cause some problem when you switch from X11 to console.

• The display is drawn very slowly during the installation (under Lenny, for newt only, not for installgui). But the installation process itself isn't longer

Configuration

• There is a step by step guide on how to declare the VM in Hyper-V.

• Here are the configuration / compatibility notes on how to install Debian.

Kernel Parameters

• None required, currently

Networking

The emulated device is a 'Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet]' PCI id:1011:0009.

The device (or driver) has no link detection. So NetworkManager will show an unplugged device (see bug 490816 and gnome's 542916).

Workarounds : either

1. Left click on the nm-applet then click on 'Wired Network' (each time you reboot)
   or

2. Create a the file /etc/default/NetworkManager to prevent NetworkManager from disabling the interface :

Solution:Build and install the 'Linux Integration Services' drivers, freely available from Microsoft. The result will be that a non-legacy network adapter can be added from the Hyper-V Manager, vastly improving speed & functionality. However, this procedure is non-trivial because:

1. Microsoft only supports certain guest operating systems (like Windows, Suse and flavors of Red Hat)
2. Microsoft has alternated between providing and not providing non-official support for the Linux IC drivers. The drivers were bundled with kernel version 2.6.32, but are slated for removal by 2.6.35.

Mouse

The mouse is working well. (the scroll button doesn't).

However, you can't use use the mouse inside your machine if you connect to the server using RDP. (The error message says 'Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session'). This has to do with the Debian install not being aware that it is dealing with an 'enlightened' virtualized mouse. In order to get this 'enlightened' mouse, you will need to build and install the 'inputvsc' driver from the Citrix Satori Project. However, the inputvsc driver requires the 'Linux Integration Services' drivers, see discussion above, to be built and installed.

Display Adapter / Video

The Xorg server uses vesa driver (since Microsoft has developed a weird proprietary device PCI:1414:5353).

It works quite well under both Etch and Lenny (Xorg 7.3). However:

• Using xrandr causes the Xserver to restart.
• vga= works, but you can't switch between X11 and the console (it causes the system to crash).

• Under Lenny, the Emulated screen always pretend to be 1600x1200.. which is anoying if you have a smaller screen (you can force it in xorg-lenny.conf.txt )

Audio

Hyper-V doesn't seems to provide audio emulation, at all.

Power Management

• (not covered.. use Hyper-V's suspend feature.)

Step by Step Installation

Download Debian ISO image

Pick the Installation that best fits you needs, from http://www.debian.org/CD/. I've picked the NetInst CD (at the time of writing, debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso).

Create the VM

. If you haven't installed Hyper-V, check Installing Hyper-V below.

• Launch 'Microsoft Virtual PC' in Start Menu > Administrative Tools > Hyper-V Manager.

• The first time you run Hyper-V, you need to accept their specific EULA.txt:

• Select the your server (on the left pane)

• Go to Menu > Action > New > Virtual Machine.

• Choose a name for your Virual Machine
• Select the amount or RAM for the Vritual Machine (128Mb is enough for text only. 512Mb is recommended for GUI/Desktop).

• Select the Network you have created during Hyper-V initial configuration (If the drop down menu is empty, clse the wizard, and go to Menu > Action > Virtual Network Manager).

• Select a name and location for the disk image. You can change the maximum disk space allocated, but it isn't important since the space is allocated as needed. (Don't go below 6Gb unless you know exaclty what your are doing, not to shoot a bullet in your own foot).
• You can select the installation media for your VM
• Review the summary, and click ok (or back ;).

Configure Networking

Enabling networking requires two steps:

1. Add a virtual switch

2. Qxl driver mac os 11 1 installer. Add a (so called) Legacy Network Adapter (The other one, named Network Adapter requires installation of Microsoft's free Integration services).

Add Virtual Network

If you don't have one yet, you have to add a virtual network (a kind of virtual switch).

• In 'Hyper-V Manager', go to menu Action > Virtual Network Manager.

• Select 'External' network, then click on 'Add'.

• Give it a name, like My Virtual Network. Then select the pyhsical network interface that it should be connected to (i.e bridged).

Add a Network Adapter

The installation wizard don't offer to a a network installation, so you have to add it manually :

• Select your on Virtual machine in 'Hyper-V Manager', then select Settings.
• On the left panel, select 'Add Hardware'

• Select Legacy Network Adapter.

• Then select the virtual network (i.e switch) to which the adapter should be connected.

  The free one just has some limitations to have full access to the software. Hatch by Wilcom. This software is a great deal for amateurs. You can get cool works like auto digitizing, lettering done using this software. Not only that, you can create your very own monograms too. This software, unfortunately, provides free trial for just a month. Digitizing software for mac free trial version.

Installing Hyper-V

If you are reading this page, you probably already have Hyper-V installed ! for the other, you should follow Microsoft's instructions :

• Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started with Hyper-V
  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105293

• How to Install Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V
  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/hyperv-install.aspx

Microsoft has already provided an update. Apparently, you must install it to have a supported Hyper-V installation (Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition (KB950050))

Note that for some odd reasons, Microsoft doesn't provides a version of Hyper-V under 32bit platform (even though it can use 64Gb of RAM).

PCI 1414:5353 VGA device

Here's are two quotes from Microsoft Integration Service's s3cap.inf regarding the device 1414:5353 :

• This is the INF file for installing the Hyper-V VGA Cap driver

• Microsoft Emulated S3 Device Cap.
