vSphere 6, 'Skipping' installation

Hi Everyone!

I just wondered if someone could please give me some assistance with a brand new installation of the Free version of vSphere Hypervisor v6.

I've downloaded the ISO, got my Licence key..burnt to CD and also installed to USB Stick.   Both give me same results below.

First of all the installation hangs at 'Initializing IOV' so I skip this step by doing SHIFT+O and 'noIOMMU'.

The installation then goes from loading all components etc (with the yellow screen) straight to the screen which says 'Download tools to manage this host from etc' message, but without completing the installation process. It doesn't scan for hardware, or ask me a hard drive to install?

I've repeated exactly the same steps, using the same ISO in a VMWare Fusion VM and it installs fine?

Appreciate any comments, please ask for more information if needed?

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Christian
