vmware gp exception 13 in world 2097152:bootstrap

Dear 

 I have problem when I tried to boot ESXi into my Fujitsu RX server, the purple screen pop up to me with the following error 

 

vmware gp exception 13 in world 2097152:bootstrap @0x418018bd3152

note that my BOIS and all hardware drivers already updated to latest version and moreover, I have the same another server specs ESXi was installed with no issue. 

 

have anyone an idea to what is the problem !?

Hello.
The first thing would be to check the internal hardware log of the server, especially related to memory.
Perform an internal memory test.
Check the distribution of the memory DIMMs in the board slots according to the server manufacturer's recommendations.

What version and build of VMware vSphere are you trying to install on this server.

Hi espinel 

 

 I checked all internal components, seems good and all DIMMs are distributed as manufacture recommendation.

Hello.
Try to install with the custom image from the manufacturer.
VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-17167734-Fujitsu-v481-1.iso

I tried Just now, but unfortunately not working same problem persist

I don't know what is going on on this machine 

knowing that, I can install windows server OS with no issue but ESXi won't install 😞

Hello.
Please indicate the exact type and model of your server.
You could try with version 6.5

Hello.

If your server has PSAS CP400i apply SAS controller card firmware 16.00.00.00.

LSI SAS Flash Firmware for PSAS CP400i

https://support.ts.fujitsu.com/IndexDownload.asp?SoftwareGuid=8939553F-B517-427F-91DB-660771B69451

Try again to install with the custom Fujitsu image version 6.7
