hi,
I am using RHEL 7 in my vmware workstation .suddenly i am stuck here (
I had this exact same problem too. I was able to resolve it editing the .vmx file for my VM, and moving the firmware = "efi" setting to the end of the list. When I just use the UEFI toggle in the VMWare settings interface, it alphabetized the settings, and I get this error when I try to boot ClearLinux. When edit the .vmx manually, and put the efi setting at the end, it boots fine... I had this same problem on two different machines, and this seemed to fix it on both.
For anybody else reading this post ...
The issue reported here is not a real problem - and the fix is not a fix.
The order of parameters in the vmx-file does not matter at all.
The error message can be ignored and it will not prevent a VM from booting.
The error you describe should be in /var/log/messages and dmesg output.
i2c-piix4 kernel module attempts to read from non existent device. Generally this is a cosmetic and harmless error.
Check to see if the i2c_piix4 module is loaded.
# lsmod | grep i2c_piix4 i2c_piix4 22106 0 i2c_core 40582 3 drm,i2c_piix4,drm_kms_helper
You can consider blacklisting the i2c-piix4 module
#echo "blacklist i2c_piix4" >> /etc/modprobe.d/no_i2c_piix4.conf
hy, i have same issue, i follow this guide but still same error
Generally this is a cosmetic and harmless error.
/etc/modprobe.d/denylist.conf
blacklist i2c_piix4
install i2c_piix4 /bin/false
------------------------------------------------
and reboot
check dmesg and lsmod | grep i2c_piix4
i solved ..
