Hyper-V new 'Quick Create' Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS errors on boot

After enabling Hyper-V in Windows 10 Pro and following the 'Quick Create' type wizard in Hyper-V to create a Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS virtual machine, Hyper-V encounters the following two errors when trying to boot this virtual machine.

This is following the completion of the 'Quick Create' wizard to establish the Hyper-V settings for this particular virtual machine.

When starting this virtual machine the window that this is occurring in displays the following two errors:

• Spectre V2: Spectre mitigation LFENCE not serializing, switching to generic retpoline.
• PCI: Fatal: No config space function found.

This results in the Ubuntu boot up failing and falling back to the Linux Grub menu.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64bit, version 1809 on a HP EliteBook 745 G5 notebook which uses an AMD Ryzen 5 2500u CPU.

Any help much appreciated.

 

I don't see the "Quick Create" option in Hyper-V Manager

Hi Tevon, my name is John D. an independent advisor happy to help you with this.

It's worth noting that the "Quick Create" option is only available on Windows 10 version 1709 or later. Therefore, I suggest verifying which version of Windows 10 you are currently using by navigating to "Settings" > "System" > "About" and checking the version and build number.

If you are running a compatible version of Windows 10 and still can't see the "Quick Create" option, I suggest following the steps below to check if this option has been disabled or to create a new virtual machine manually:

> Open the Hyper-V Manager and click on "Action" from the menu bar.

> Select "Hyper-V Settings" from the drop-down menu.

> Under "Virtual Hard Disks", click on "Default Stores".

> Make sure that the "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" option is unchecked.

> Click on "OK" to save the changes and close the dialog box.

> Close and reopen the Hyper-V Manager to see if the "Quick Create" option appears.

If you're still unable to find the "Quick Create" option, you can create a new virtual machine manually by selecting "New" from the menu bar and following the prompts.

I hope this information helps you resolve the issue you're facing.

Best regards,

John D.

Hyper-V Quick Create Iso Location

Thanks for the reply,

The Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks is where the VMs .vhd file is located.

I'm looking for the Ubuntu .iso file that the Hyper-V 'quick create' downloads and uses to build the VM.
