Issues with HP ProDesk 400

[sluge]

Hello, I'm trying to install esxi 6.5 to the workstation HP ProDesk 400 G5 MT - (Core i5-8500/16Gb/1TB/256Gb SSD) using external usb CDROM but failed with error:

Relocating modules and starting up the kernel...

and after it installation hangs.

Is any way to install esxi to this workstation?

Hi

I have not experienced this issue specifically on workstation, however I could see multiple posts that talks about it and some different steps which really not make me trust has resolved the issue.

This is from HP : hp - VMware ESXi error upon boot "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel" - Server Fault 

BIOS upgrade.

As you asked about installing esxi 6.5 on work station I found this article:
