Jun 12, 2014 Hi Andrew, This is a fantastic read. I am faced with the same issue the difference is the file that it is trying to load is sb.v00. I found the file in VMware-VMvisor-Installer-2 01512001-3 248547.x86 _64.iso (i suggest you get the file from the version of ESXi iso that you installed from) as it is the same size as the one on the partition. Sep 17, 2011 - bootstate=0 title=Loading ESXi installer kernel=/tboot.b00 kernelopt=runweasel. /block-cc.v00 --- /ehci-ehc.v00 --- /s.v00 --- /weaselin.i00.

Thanks, gsc RE: ESX 6.0 install - error loading /tboot.b00 fatal error 15 -2016-09-23 23:09 do you see any link to? Which is part of any error ipxe gives, and that page often explains what's going on.
If there is no ipxe.org url in the error message, the issue is likely with your boot.cfg which I think needs full paths to the file. Could you post the contents of your boot.cfg? Actually I must say that since tboot.b00 is not in the kernel line at all, it must be something that is trying to be loaded from boot.cfg RE: ESX 6.0 install - error loading /tboot.b00 fatal error 15 -2016-09-27 18:10 Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes, there is no ipxe.org url. My boot.cfg contents are as below.
When you try to install VMware ESXi 6.0 on the latest Skull Canyon Intel NUC (NUC6i7KYK), the installation fails with one of the following error messages: Error loading /tools.t00 Compressed MD5: 39916ab4eb3b835daec309b235fcbc3b Decompressed MD5: Fatal error: 10 (Out of resources) Error loading /tools.t00 Compressed MD5: Decompressed MD5: Fatal error: 15 (Not found) This problem is caused by the Thunderbolt Controller, which is a new component in the NUC6i7KYK, and therefore only the Skull Canyon NUC is affected. The problem can be solved by temporarily disabling the Thunderbolt controller during installation. To successfully install ESXi 6.0 on the NUC6i7KYK:.
Create a bootable USB Installer with Rufus (Howto: ) and plug it into the NUC. Power on the NUC and press F2 to open Intel Visual BIOS. Navigate to Advanced Devices Onboard Devices and disable Thunderbolt Controller. Install ESXi. Restart the NUC, enter BIOS and re-enable thunderbolt Controller The NUC works with an unmodified version of ESXi 6.0 Update 2, including:. Network Adapter I219-LM (PCI ID: 8086:15b7).
NVMe Controller (The NVMe driver, which replaces the AHCI driver are included in the ESXi Image. Packages like xahci are not required) Additional notes:. The SD Slot does not work with ESXi. I could not verify the Thunderbolt Port. (Are there any TB v3 devices in the market yet?).
If you need additional Network Adapters, the best solution is to use an USB 3.0 NIC with the driver by William Lam. We had a nice email discussion in the last week regarding the error, brought together by Raymond Huh. Together with VMware employee William Lam and an engineer in the background, Paul Braren and Olli Salonen. William Lam has also written about the solution with some further recommended BIOS Settings:.
Very nice to see that we have smart guys that can get unsupported non-enterprise stuff to work on weekends. Another caveat: I didn't install any SSDs in the Skull Canyon NUC because I am using iSCSI SAN for all of my datastores. I installed ESXi 6.0 U2 on a 8 GB USB3 flash drive.
However, once the ESXi installer completed, and the NUC Skull Canyon rebooted, it could not find any media. It turned out that for some reason, I need to enable UEFI boot, after which ESXi 6.0 U2 booted off the USB flash drive. I tried again to disable UEFI in BIOS, and the bootable media could not be found again. I'm not sure why this is the case, and why the legacy boot is not working with ESXi 6.0 U2. The BIOS I'm running on the Skull Canyon NUC Is KY0034, to which I upgraded from 0033.
