HowTo: Install Arch Linux on Hyper-V

emoriver:

Hi everybody, I'm trying to install Arch as a Virtual Machine under Windows 2008 Server R2 Hyper-V.
Someone says ( _http://blog.allanglesit.com/2010/05/ubuntu-and-hyper-v-the-paths-to-enlightenment/ ) it's possible to configure Ubuntu to use synthetic devices.
I've tried with no success and that made me happy because the distro I'd like to use is Arch!
. . .
Any idea? Is there a way to translate the post I cited for Arch (I'm not able by myself, unfortunately...)?

Boot Arch Linux Installer ( I'm use archlinux-2011.08.19-core-dual.iso )

2011-10-21: Or boot archboot 2011.10-1

_Before_
/arch/setup

load Hyper-V module for SCSI:
==
modprobe hv_storvsc
==

after this SCSI disk
/dev/sdb
IDE disk
/dev/sda

!!!
!!! Don't forget add hv_storvsc in MODULES= to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
!!! before reboot step of /arch/setup
!!!

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
==
MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix hv_storvsc"
==

# Old variant:
# MODULES="hv_storvsc"
#

(

Estetic:

I see the following error message when booting Arch Linux:
==
piix4_smbus 0000.00.07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr=0xaddr
==

For fix this add "blacklist i2c_piix4" to file /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
==
blacklist i2c_piix4
==

)

!
!
!
Install Bootloader GRUB to IDE disk
/dev/sda

!
! Place /boot to IDE Disk !!!
!
( other partitions best place to SCSI Disk)

(

#IF /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix hv_storvsc"

# No problem "/dev/sdb _swap_ with /dev/sda"

#ELSIF /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="hv_storvsc"

Problem:

before reboot step of /arch/setup if You:

Run cfdisk /dev/sdb , see output:

but in installed Arch Linux

SCSI disk
/dev/sda
IDE disk
/dev/sdb

i.e. /dev/sdb _swap_ with /dev/sda

Run cfdisk , see output:

Solution:

#ENDIF
)

!
! Use LABEL or UUID in fstab
!

(

#IF /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix hv_storvsc"

# not need edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

#ELSIF /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="hv_storvsc"

!
! Don't forget set root= in /boot/grub/menu.lst
! before reboot step of /arch/setup
! i.e.:

In file
/boot/grub/menu.lst
replace
==
root=/dev/sdb
==
to
==
root=/dev/sda
==

Example:
==
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 ro
==

#ENDIF
