Hello everyone! Im stuck on esxi 6.5.0 Update 1 (Build 7967591)
Manufacturer
Intel Corporation
S3210SH
CPU
4 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3360 @ 2.83GHz

When I go updates
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.5.0-20180804001-standard \
-d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient
Then reboot the server. I get purple screen ( photo attached)

Doesnt make any sense at all. The link you provided
Have you verified the Server model against ESXi 6.5 version and confirmed if thats compatible.
If I am not wrong the physical server that you are using is Intel S3210SH correct ?
I dont see this server as compatible for ESXi 6.5

But it works 5.5 and 6.5 but not the latest updates
Dear SK,
IT will not supportable.
That works with the current build you use and is not listed as compatible means it either "might" or "might not" work, and unfortunately there is no guarantee for the first option.
As mentioned by the other users, running ESXi on unsupported hardware may, or may not work.
Anyway, since the error message points to the ne1000 driver, you could try to replace this driver with the currently working version, after updating the host.
To do this upload the "old" ne1000 driver to a folder on a datastore, and run e.g.:
esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/datastrore1/Patches/VMW_bootbank_ne1000_0.8.0-16vmw.650.1.26.5969303.vib
after updating the host with the command you mentioned, and prior to rebooting it.
No guarantees though.
