Virtual Appliance won't boot in ESX 3

July 19, 2011 • Customer Services       
Synopsis

There is a known issue with VMware ESX 3.0.x and the current censornet virtual appliance. The system appears to get to the "Loading kernel" stage then it hangs.

 

Article

This problem occurs because of a problem with the support in the latest linux kernels for the LSI SCSI bus in ESX server 3.0.x. To fix it, you need to edit the virtual machine settings and change the SCSI bus from LSI to BusLogic?. The virtual machine will complain a bit on the first run, however it will work, and after a restart has no further problems.
