Issue installing ESXi on Hp Gen 8

[Chippers1987]

Hi guys,

I'm hopping some one can shred some light on an issue I'm having.

I'm trying to install ESXi on my Gen8.

I have downloaded and installed ESXi on to a flash drive, everything goes ok however once the install is completed the server prompts a reboot. The reboot starts and goes through the BOIS when you would expect ESXi to boot for the first time the screen goes blank and the sever fan stops asif it goers in to stand by mode.

I have tried this on multiple Flash drives and a internal HDD.

I've checked all BOIS settings.

Attempted to install under MBR format.

Please can some one shred some light on this for me.

Thanks a mil.

Chris.

Hi,

This seems to be a Hardware Firmware or Driver issue.

are you using HP's Custom ISO image or VMware's ESXi ISO image?

Please try installation with different ISO image.
