Description Hg Sysit 2023-08-09 13:50:16 UTC 
the installation is freezing as soon as i choose “Install Ipfire” in the menu
the screen become black with a frozen cursor
    Everything work well with all previous version of ipfire
    my host hardware : 17-13700, 64gbram DDR5, gtx-1080,Intel i350-T4 network card
    my host software : windows server 2022 datacenter, Hyper-V (for all virtual machines)
    ipfire VM config : 6gb ram, 20gb hdd, 2core cpu, 2 nic, Gen2, secure boot disabled
    i tried all 4 previous version with this config and it work perfectly
    Also, yes i did the test with Gen1 mode, and the exact same result

temporary solution found by adding “ibt=off” to the kernel parameters

According to documentation, This “Ibt” is supposed to work on Intel Cpu. Mine is I7-13700. Also Maybe core 177 has some problem with combination of intel 13700 and Nvidia.

It's an Hyper-V Bug.

A work around patch is planned in upcoming linux releases but not included yet.
