TC in Win 8 Hyper-V
« on: November 11, 2012, 02:44:25 AM »
I just installed Tiny Core in a Windows 8 Hyper-V.  It came up fast and easy.  However, when I click on the Apps icon it gives an error message about "Couldn't load mirror list. Maybe network issue?" if I ask to use the faster mirror.

Using ifconfig it lists things as local loopback with an address of 127.0.0.1.  How do I get it to make a connection to my network?

Thank you.

I should probably add that before I made the VM, I created a virtual switch and set it to external.  I did select that switch when I created the VM.  That should be all I need from the VM side, I think?

Did that.  Tried to click the Use DHCP Broadcast "yes" button and apply, but it doesn't do anything.

Also tried manually assigning an IP to no effect.  Using the ifconfig command it only lists the "lo" device, nothing in there about eth0?

Well, what network card does it emulate?

What about "ifconfig -a"?

The Hyper-V external adapter is listed as: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

"ifconfig -a" lists two devices: dummy0 and lo.  dummy0 lists link encap:Ethernet and a MAC address, but the MAC looks nothing like the one coming off the Hyper-V MAC address.

Ah ha!  Based off a tip from http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5078-hyper-v-create-linux-virtual-machine-windows-8-a.html?ltr=Hgeneral, I deleted the network adapter in the Hyper-V settings.  I then did an "Add Hardware" and selected "Legacy Network Adapter" and connected that to the external virtual switch I originally created.

That done, I have internet access.  Yeay.

Thank you all for the replies and interest.

TCL 64-bit works perfectly on Hyper-V 2012 R2.

Moved my VM from Vmware to Hyper-V 2012 R2 & it booted with no issues.

It is the ONLY Linux based VM that I had ZERO problems with after the move!
