Thank you for posting this. It was a great help to me. I found that I could use 5Nine to transfer the VM to Hyper-V, boot into rescue mode when bringing up the VM on Hyper-V and run the mkinitrd command. The VM then boots normally.

Hello. Was pointed to this thread by someone in the Spiceworks Community. I'm migrating VMware VMs to Hyper-V. Some are CentOS machines. In order to create an initramfs file with the hyper-v modules, do I need to install something for hyper-v in the VM as it sits on VMware? Thanks for any input.

No, this should be a core part of CentOS.

Thank you very much!
