No Network Adapters detected on VM booting a ESXi Image via PXE

    Posted Nov 24, 2015 03:45 PM

    Im trying to build a Server which is able to deploy different Versions of ESXi 6 Update 1 (HP version / Standart / Fujitsu..)

    I have allready set up the server and the configuration is practicly done. But i cant seem to get it running propperly.

    The Server is a VM and the Machine i have been Useing for test Purposes is on the same Host in the Same Vcenter and also in the same network

    The Guide i have been useing is this one: http://everythingshouldbevirtual.com/build-tftp-server-esxi-installs

    I am able to start the installation Process(see Picture 1) but it quits the installation Process after a while (after running  giving me this Error (See Pic 2)

    If i change the boot.cfg according to this thread : Re: Esx5 scripted installation mac not found (see laterst entry) It wont load beyond "user loaded successfully)

    If i add "nobootif=1" at the end of the boot.cfg i am getting following error (see pic 3). Since i am Installing the ESXI in a vm i dont think there are drivers missing

    THis is my boot.cfg :

    bootstate=0

    title=Loading ESXi installer

    prefix=Images/ESXi6u1

    timeout=5

    kernel=tboot.b00

    kernelopt=runweasel
