Running Ubuntu on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V
I'm hoping this post saves people the trouble I had with getting Ubuntu 7.10 to boot on Win2k8 Hyper-V.
If you're trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 (either server or desktop) on a VT-enabled machine, you'll be probably get stuck at the "Loading..." screen. If you're interested in the gory details, check out this bug - the issue seems to be around emulation of real mode instructions and the graphics instructions that ISOLinux uses to boot.
The fix is simple - get the patch from this thread and patch your ISO images (the patch makes a small change to your isolinux.cfg.
Ubuntu is now purring away happily on my Win2k8 box :-)
