Question: is disabling HyperV boot customizations possible?

[SjoerdV]

Hi! After using your image for about a year I decided to migrate from HyperV to Proxmox.

So after setting up the VM in Proxmox and connected the existing disk to it, I can see Grub loading but then failing on loading two 'hv_.ko' files. Is this something that can be solved? Ie. Can I disable the loading of the .ko files?

Thanks for any help on this.

Hey friend, glad to hear the image has been working for you on Hyper-V!

With regard to your error, the files in question are related to Hyper-V, and since you're trying to boot from Proxmox, it'll fail to load them.

The solution might be to use one of the official DietPi VM images on Proxmox. @MichaIng can give you more details on which image would work on Proxmox.

I admit, I've never gone out of my way to add those files. @MichaIng do the official Hyper-V images embed these files?

It should work when you use initramfs-tools to have a larger set if block device/controller/fs related drivers added to the initramfs:

apt install initramfs-tools
apt autopurge

Otherwise see our Proxmox download: https://dietpi.com/#download

Absolutely great (and speedy) tips. Much appreciated. Together with this article
