      Hi, i follow the guide here to create esxi pxe installer from the esxi iso but i have a problem.
      The physical machine is a HPE DL380 Gen10.

      I boot from pxe without problem, i get the fog menu and i choose my esxi 6.7u3 boot image.
      Here i get the typical esxi loading screens but i stuck at k.b00 and it doesn’t move from there.
      I’ve tried also with 6.5u3 but it’s the same: i cannot pass k.b00.
      No errors are thrown, execpt a keyboard not found error in red at the beginning of the loading modules screen.
      I use NFS.

      Any hint?
      edit: i’m using vmware iso images developed for HPE, for gen9plus hardware, not the general Vmware image.
      edit2: i’m using a Windows machine for DHCP and DNS. My fog is on a centos 7 vm. I think that generally speking it doesn’t had any problem, i can deploy Gparted, Windows 10 installer, Windows Server 2016 & 2019 installer without problem. I generally use that for installing OS into VM. This is the first time i’m using a bare metal machine to deploy the OS.

        Another information: i just spin up a VM with UEFI bios and E1000E adapater and tried to deploy esxi 6.7u3 to that vm and get past the loading modules stage and i can actually install esxi here.
        Fog version is 1.5.7

          From what you have told us so far I think this might be some problem with iPXE booting in the other VM. Can you please give us more details on what setting(s) is/are different between the one that works and the one that doesn’t properly load.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
