  • 1.  Cannot install ESXi in PC after trying and searching many times

    Posted Feb 03, 2018 09:42 PM

    Hi I always got error message "nfs41client failed to load" whenever I install ESXi6.5 or other versions on my Lenovo Yoga laptop. I follow the below papers, which request to bind some driver into ESXi. But it always does not work. Anyone can take a look at what is going on? Thank you

    You're trying to install ESXi, an OS designed for a server, on a laptop. Sometimes it's not just going to work no matter what you do. You're probably aware it's not supported, and not all devices are covered by a driver of any kind.

    you are trying to install ESXi on desktop and it doesn't recognize embeded NIC.

    You have to install a NIC which ESXi supports.

    What is supported you can see in HCL VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search

    Hi Randhir, Thank you so much for your reply. The Compatibility List looks complicated. Can you show how to find the supported NIC from the list?
