To highlight jleung's comments, what is going on is that generation 2 VM's require UEFI to boot, inform the UEFI boot manager of the OS (via registration of values in the NVRAM). The Ubuntu installer does this at installation time. What jlaeung's describing is converting to "removal" mode.
I suspect that VM's should be installed w/ removal mode by default to support cloning operations. We currently do this on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS UEFI cloud images. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317695 Title: hyper-v: Unable to copy and boot Generation 2 Ubuntu 14.04 VHDs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1317695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
