Fedora 17 and Hyper-V

[Inorder]

Hello!
I took Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso and installed Fedora 17 on a Hyper-V virtual machine. The installation went fine, but booting a system fails with a "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." screen.

Fedora 16 runs on Hyper-V without problems. So there is something in version 17 that breaks the compatibility. I can help investigating this issue by collecting logs etc.

Had the same problem in VMWare ESXi 4.0. Found solution elsewhere. Here is the link.

Basically reboot and enter command line mode. At the prompt enter "yum remove fprintd" (no quotes). Answer yes to questions and then reboot when finished. It should take you to a good login with no problems.

I did boot to single-user mode and then

yum remove fprintd

and rebooted. This got me as far as the login screen. After logging in, I saw the "something wrong" message again.

I checked the CMOS configuration of my laptop and noticed that HyperV was turned off. This is a brand new machine so HyperV was turned off by default by the manufacturer. It is an HP ENVY 17 with i7 core CPU. You would think that they would turn HyperV on. I turned it on but left all the other settings at the factory defaults.

Anyway, it successfully boots to the desktop now so I can finally get to the post install upgrades. Then maybe I can get some work done.
