vm creation impossible

[okotsou]

Hello

I bought a raspberry pie 4 models b with 8 GB to install an esxi arm on it and manage different servers.

Until all is well my esxi work perfectly it boots on my external hard drive and I can store my iso files by the network, but when I create a vm and that I start it I remain blocked on (see the photo), impossible to start a vm the files this create well we see the memory size to dedicate and all the remains but impossible to go beyond this window an idea?

Thank you

if the question is not in the right subject, let me know

Hi,

ESXi does only run Virtual Machine with an 64-bit kernel. Your ISO is for "armhf", which is the 32-bit version.

Please use this iso: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/10.9.0/arm64/iso-cd/debian-10.9.0-arm64-xfce-CD-1.iso

If you need to run armhf application, you can still install them in Linux after (example for boinc-client):

dpkg --add-architecture armhf
apt update && apt install -y boinc-client:armhf
