Problem with keyboard in VM console

Hi, I installed ESXI 7.0.2 on my HP ML110 Gen10.

I have a little problem.

When I run the console of a virtual machine with Debian, the keyboard does not work. Ie. I can change consoles ALT + F1 to F6, but when I want to enter login nothing happens.

This started happening after the Service Pack Proliant firmware update.

 

When I start the VM console (via WebGUI) with Windows 10, the keyboard and mouse work

When I start VM console (via WebGUI) with Debian 10 or 11 with Gnome, the keyboard and mouse work

What about VMware tools? Have you installed them? 

There are multiple articles how to install it on Linux

Anyone find a fix for this? Works fine on VMWare 6.7 and 8.0 but 7.0.3 does not work.
