black console screen in vCenter

[Jaco_B]

hi there,

I Have this strange problem in vCenter. When a VM starts and i open the console screen it is all black. But when i open the console tab it shows the starting screen of my VM.

I'm using vCenter 2.5 U3 with ESX3.5U3 with all latest patches installed.

The network is a flat network with one subnet. DNS is running fine.

does anyone have an idea cause i'm out op options.

Could you able to telnet the port 902?

It means the boot device for the VM is not specified properly...if u see it clearly you will see a cursor blinking...

There is no cursor blinking.

the vm starts normally, only the console windows stays black. the console tab in vi-client works fine.

It's a windows 2008 VM. At this time its the only VM in the environment, we've just finished setting it up.
