I have the unfortunate task of running Devuan on hyper-v.

Attempting to install Devuan 6 in a new VM fails after selecting the installer mode from the boot screen:

I get the same result for netinstall, desktop, and server images. The live image boots into a console session (only framebuffer on hyper-v, so no X), but I haven't tried running refractainstaller there.

There is no problem installing from Debian 13 netinstall image or Devuan 5 daedalus netinstall image.

I have verified all iso images with PGP and sha256sum.

Is there any significant difference between Devuan 5 and Devuan 6 installer images? Is this a missing kernel driver that hyper-v is needing from the Devuan 6 installer?

Are there any kernel boot commands I can add on to the installer option to get more debug output?
