Install CentOS 5.3 on Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

I tried install CentOS 5.3 on Hyper-V Version 2 before, it DID NOT work, I googled  and found this was very useful:

http://www.jules.fm/Logbook/files/win2008_linuxic_rc2_rhel.html

However, the author said the method did not support CentOS 5.3. When Windows 2008 R2 came out, I tried it again, it worked fine.

The installation is very easy:

  1. Download the CentOS 5.3 ISO file from www.centos.org
  2. Create a virtual machine on Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V system.
  3. Install CentOS 5.3 on the virtual machine.
  4. yum update (When I do “yum update” on Hyper-V Version 2 system, the CentOS 5.3 will die on boot up with error message of “kernel panic”)
  5. Download Linux_IC from Microsoft Website and install it to the installed CentOS 5.3.
  6. Setup Mouse driver
  7. UPDATE November 19, 2009: Make sure add Legacy Network Adapter, otherwise, you can not see the network card when you use setup utility.

That’s it. All done!

TODO: I am going to write the details for this topic. Before I finish it, if you encounter any problem during the installation, please leave me a comment, I will try my best to answer your  question.

  2. Copy all stuff from MOSS setup DVD’s x64 folder to C:\moss_setup
  3. Download officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe
