Fedora in Hyper-V on Windows 10 Possible?

Obsolesce

Fedora works great in Hyper-V gen2.

To boot from ISO, change the default uefi setting to the other option. Forget without looking, but it's the other uefi option.

Running a Gen1 VM.
It boots and I go through the steps to launch the Live CD, I bypass media checking then I get a line that says:
Unable to fix SELinux security context of /run/rootfs base: Permission denied

Then I get a full black screen. Looks to me like a video incompatability issue. I've looked through the HyperV settings and can't see and video options I could change for the VM.

Are you running Hyper-V Manager as Admin?

Did you disable secure boot in the VMs settings?

Don't think a Gen1 VM has secure boot as an option? Please let me know if it does.

Running in 'Admin' mode makes no difference.

Secure boot works fine for fedora in Hyper-V as a gen2 VM.

Well I blew away the Gen1 VM (made about 3 of them while trying to get it to go), created Gen2 VM, disabled secure boot (didn't see your post Obsolesce) and wammo! it all went through fine.
All installed and working OK ... so far.
Thanks for the help.

Ah yes, I see just set up a test bunny in Gen1.

As unhelpful as it it... "mine works fine"

If you attempt a boot without the ISO, do you get the "insert boot media..." message?
Have you run a checksum comparison on the ISO file?

No & no to that mate.

I thought all was OK, but alas, no. It installs OK, but when it reboots post install it just hangs and never gets to the GUI.
I've downloaded another ISO, so I'll give that a go.
It is helpful to know that it does work, I must just have to iron out some bugs on my system.
