_Absolutly_ ( as _minimum_ for SlackWare 14.00 ) need backport requested at 2012-06-08(!) :
( look on sub-string "3.2")

  i.e. need backport to all actual version after 3.1

  cd006086fa5d ata_piix: defer disks to the Hyper-V drivers by default

An earlier commit cd006086fa5d91414d8ff9ff2b78fbb593878e3c ("ata_piix:
defer disks to the Hyper-V drivers by default") broke MS Virtual PC
guests. Hyper-V guests and Virtual PC guests have nearly identical DMI
info. As a result the driver does currently ignore the emulated hardware
in Virtual PC guests and defers the handling to hv_blkvsc [ VVM: in current ver kernel -- hv_storvsc ]  . Since Virtual
PC does not offer paravirtualized drivers no disks will be found in the
guest.

One difference in the DMI info is the product version. This patch adds a
match for MS Virtual PC 2007 and "unignores" the emulated hardware.

 In kernel 3.2 used in

-- Ubuntu 12.4.0 LTS (  after 12.4.2 -- 3.5.X)
and
-- Debian 7.0

source code related Hyper-V backported from "vanila" Kernel v3.5 ( and someone from hi versions)

Please, ask Support Teams of Debian and Ubuntu for backport



Best regards, Victor Miasnikov
Blog:  http://vvm.blog.tut.by/


P.S.

to To Microsoft Hyper-V for Linux Team:

what are mint phrase:
"LIS (Linux Integration Services) 4.0"
?

If need details -- ask me by e-mail . . .



P.P.S.

Again to To Microsoft Hyper-V for Linux Team:

 See on MS Forum topic
"Linux VM literally crashes Hyper-V host server with STOP 0x00020001"
 and (or)
please, remember, CVE number



P.P.P.S.

To SUSE Hyper-V for Linux Team:

Olaf, I'm received Yours e-mail msg ( answer on my earler msg)

 Thanks for answer

Unfortunately Yours ( SUSE/Novel) Bug-Tracker not opened by IE from Win Srv Edtions
I'm try do it from OpenSUSE v12.3 LiveCD but can not boot from it in Hyper-V VM when "Dynamic memory" turn on

 See details on
http://vvm.blog.tut.by/2013/05/18/opensuse-on-hyper-v/

 Or ask SUSE Support Team write me by e-mail for detail


P.P.P.P.S.

 In
./linux-3.10-rc2/drivers/scsi/storvsc_drv.c

I am not found sub-string "Fiber Channel"

  As I  undestand Linux Kernel roadmap/timeline traditions
need ask by backport needed patches to v3.10

To Microsoft Hyper-V for Linux Team:

 Who must do it?

Again Hypev-V sysadmin[s] ?


P.P.P.P.P.S.

Sorry, if my msg not full "political correct"

I preffered solve problem as possibily earler, what wait big problems

Sorry, again . . .
