Hi,
I wanted to try ESXi 6.7 U3 with on an unsupported system with AMD components:
System configuration:
- 3700X
- Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS X570-Ace (latest BIOS 1302 installed, AGESA 1004 B)
- 4 x 16 GiB ECC UDIMM DDR4-2400 (Samsung OEM)
- Quadro P2000
- USB Thumb drive with ESXi 6.7 U3 setup
- Empty/Erased SATA SSD intended for ESXi
- Nothing else
- CSM disabled/UEFI boot-only
What didn't help:
- CMOS resetting the BIOS didn’t change a thing (made sure to enable virtualization support afterwards since for some reason the default setting is leaving it disabled)
- Installing ESXi 6.7 U3 on a different system (ASRock Rack X470D4U) to the SATA SSD, updating it to the current version (ESXi-6.7.0-20191204001-standard (Build 15160138)) and then trying to boot it on the X570-Ace also didn’t change anything
- Enabling CSM and switch to Legacy boot-only
Any idea what's causing this issue when booting ESXi?
I know that in general ESXi can work fine with Ryzen 3000 (as tested with my other system with an X470 motherboard that also uses a Ryzen 3000 CPU).
Thanks for any assistance!
