Hyper-v gen 2 vm installation

Hi,

I’m having the same issu:

Hyper-V on Windows Server 2019
ipfire-2.23.x86_64-full-core139.iso
Second generation Virtual Maschine with Secure Boot diabled

On the initial screen (GRUB) I can use the keyboard but after selecting “Install IPFire 2.23 x86_64” on the Language selection screen no input is possible. This also affects sending the ctrl-alt-del from Hyper-V:

[Window Title]
Virtual Machine Connection

[Main Instruction]
Could not send keys to the virtual machine.

[Content]
Interacting with the virtual machine’s keyboard device failed.

The operation cannot be performed while the object is in its current state.

[Close]

It seems as if Ubuntu has had some simular issues in the beginning of Hyper-V second generation Virtual Maschines: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1285434

Till now I’m using a gen1 VM but would like to set up a new one on gen2.

Kind regards,
Markus
