PlatformWindows Server 2019 (Hyper-V)OSRocky LinuxOS Version8.10
Summary0001577: 6.18.2 does not contain Hyper-V drivers for network and storage
Description6.18.2 does not contain drivers for:
CONFIG_HYPERV_NET
CONFIG_HYPERV_STORAGE

Also are absent the modules for:
hv_netvsc.ko.xz
hv_storvsc.ko.xz

It is needed at least one of them.
Steps To ReproduceIn a Windows 2019 Server, and I suspect any hyper-v, upgrade kernel-lt from 6.17.x to 6.18.2 in a Gen 1 VM running Rocky Linux 8.10.
Additional Informationkernel-lt 5.4.302 and kernel-ml 6.17.11 are working as expected.
TagsNo tags attached.

Confirmed the issue. Required config changes will be made in the next release of our kernels.

Looks like the issue cannot be resolved by modifications to the kernel config file.

I'm not sure if it is the same.
In my case the system boots but the modules and kernel config variables are missing for net and storage.
The remaining hyper-v modules are present.
