Hi,
I am trying to install Windows Server 2016 Standard with GUI to a ESXi 6.5 Host. After installing the VM trys to boot but get stuck every time with a bluescreen.
The Stopcode is 0xc000021a. I tried different configuration and images but the problem stays the same. Unfortunatly there is no further information provided with this BSOD. I already tried to repair the installtion via the install medium.
Configuration of the VM:
vCores: 4
Memory: 8 GB
HDD: 40GB, thin providioned, connected to SCSI (0:0)
SCSI-Controller: LSI Logic SAS
CD/DVD-Drive: connected to SATA (0:0)
Firmware: BIOS
Guest-OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (64 Bit)
I also tried first with UEFI as Firmware ... same problem.
The Host:
ESXi 6.5.0 U1
HPE Proliant ML150 Gen9
64GB Memory
Other VMs: with Debian, Ubuntu or FreeBSD, so this is the first Window Server VM
Does anybody know this problem. It dirves my crazy because I am trying to get this working for three days. Can I use the ordinary Image providey by Microsoft (de_windows_server_2016_updated_feb_2018_x64_dvd_11636745.iso)?
best regards
