Cant install properly on Hyper-V

[papaper]

Hi there!
Im trying to boot DSL 2024 RC5 for install on VM Hyper-V. Error X11 cant start-up.

This distro doesn't work in a virtual machine? Did someone launch it?

During start up inside Hyper-V, I see the following black screen:

   

And after a while the content changes to:

   

Has someone managed to run DSL inside Hyper-V and what is the trick?
Other linux distribution are opperational inside Hyper-V on my machine.

Thank you very much.

The issue is with the UEFI (type 2 hypervisor) vs. legacy bios (type 1 hypervisor). DSL does not support EFI booting at this time. The issue is GPT vs. MBR. One or two users have reported success using GPT, but I have not tried. If you can make it legacy bios type (Generation 1), DSL will find the MBR. Otherwise, if you care about what you already have, it looks like you can basically backup and get there (or a more "windows NAS way").
