Hi Vinay. I never tried to boot the azure kernel on a physical machine, but I believe it should boot fine. Usually with those test kernels I simply install all the debian package with:

$ sudo apt install ./*.deb

I will try to install it on physical machine today to check if I have the same issues.

I usually provide .deb packages for test kernels because they are quick to build. However, I can provide a test kernel on a PPA if you prefer. Building the kernel on a PPA has the advantage that we can sign the kernel image for secure boot. However by default PPAs do not sign kernel images with our official key. In that case I usually add the PPA key to the firmware so I can boot the whole stack in secure mode (just keep in mind that our grub in xenial is still not enforcing the kernel signature).

With regards to my tests do you see any issues with my environment (Hyper-V gen2 VM on Win10 Pro host with secure boot and vTPM enabled)?
