joel@ said:Everything should be in GENERIC in ALPHA4/ALPHA5.
That is not a useful answer. I did
svn update /usr/src
about 20 hours ago, so that would be alpha4 as far as I can tell. There is a device entry for hyperv, but it doesn't appear to be effective. The GENERIC build from that will only boot with fast IDE manually disabled, and will not shut down without manual intervention using PS. If people are running it "with no problems at all", it would be nice to know how they did that. If they are really still doing manual intervention on boot and shutdown, that is NOT "no problems". I do see the hn0 device is created, but hadn't looked before and don't really care because network speed is not an issue if the VM won't reboot automatically with the host. On top of that, de0 still requires bouncing after boot, so that doesn't appear to be fixed in the driver set. There was a comment from @grehan three months ago about creating a wiki entry, but that still does not exist. My point was that there is a lot of information out there that doesn't apply to base/head today, and absolutely nothing that does. Even this thread which claims to be the place to get current info does nothing more than make unsubstantiated claims that it is working.
