1) What version of ESXi are you using precisely? I encounter this issue in ESXi 6.0.0 build 2494585, ESXi 5.5.0 build 3029944 and the on-going develop branch vsphere2016.
2) Is the BIOS set for the VM to be EFI or BIOS mode? Boot mode set to EFI. It works fine when boot mode set to BIOS. best regards Yuhua Zou -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566708 Title: Failed to boot when install ubuntu16.04 beta2 desktop64 with EFI boot in Vmware ESXi Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I insatlled Ubuntu16.04 beta2 desktop (64bit) with EFI boot on a VMware ESXi.
