  • 1.  ESXi7 and Asrock Rack C2750D4i board

    Posted Feb 25, 2021 06:10 PM

    Hi all,

    I have an Asrock Rack C2750D4i board with 32 GB mem and a connection to QNAP NAS working for many years @ ESXi 6.0  up to 6.5U3  -> ESXi free versions.

    I disconnected the QNAP NAS, I removed the Boot HDD, Installed a New HDD and tried to install ESXi 7.0b ( 16324942 )

    During installation PSOD -> error Could not start pcpu 1; no response to kick

    I know according VMware HW guide this board is not tested but this combo is a whitebox configuration.

    Question: What can I tweak in BIOS or in CD to have this board up and running @ ESXi 7 ??

    thanks

    I also tested ESXi6.7.0 RB 14320388  -> same error

    What has been change in ESXi between 6.5 and ( 6.7 & 7.0 ) why this fantastic board is not working anymore?
