Try to install guestOS with ubuntu-19.04-server-amd64.iso in ESXi for
more times.
Env:
ESXi
Manufacturer : HP
Model: ProLiant DL385p Gen8
CPU: 24 CPUs x AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6238
Image: install GuestOS with image ubuntu-19.04-server-amd64.iso (GA)
1.
with the following VM settings, we get continuous flash in the the installing
stage “choose language”
1) default setting: vcpu 1 , memory 1G, video buffer 4M
2) vcpu 1 , memory 2G, video buffer 8M
3) vcpu 1 , memory 4G, video buffer 16M
steps:
1) create a new VM in ESXi with the the above setting and other default
setting for VM
2) mount ubuntu-19.04-server-amd64.iso to CD/DVD
3) power VM
4) choose the default option “Install Ubuntu Server” and press “Enter” key
(check attach screenshot install_ubuntu.png), it starts to install
5) we get continuous flash in the the stage “choose language”
(check attach screenshot flash.png)
2.
with the following VM setting, it pop up the windows “Ubuntu installer main
menu” during the stage “choose language” and stage “Configure the clock”
But we can skip the failed stages to continue to finish the installation
1) vcpu 2, memory 1G, video buffer 4M
2) vcpu 2, memory 4G, video buffer 16M
3) vcpu 4, memory 4G, video buffer 16M
steps:
1) create a new VM in ESXi with the the upper setting and other default
setting for VM
2) mount ubuntu-19.04-server-amd64.iso to CD/DVD
3) power VM
4) choose the default option “Install Ubuntu Server” and press “Enter” key
(check attach screenshot install_ubuntu.png), it starts to install
5) It can’t stay in the phase “choose language” for the users to set
language but popup the windows “Ubuntu installer main menu”. we can choose the
next stage “Access software for ….” and continue to install
(please check the attached screenshot fail_to_set_language.png)
6) During the installing process, it failed for the stage “Configure the
clock” but but popup the windows “Ubuntu installer main menu”again. we can
choose the next stage “Detects disks” to continue to install
(please check the attached screenshot fail_to_set_clock.png)
7) finish the installation and reboot, the system can boot up.
For the above tries, with vcpu > 1, we can skip the failed stages and finish
the installation.
But It still be a issue for why the installing stages “choose language”
and“Configure the clock” are failed.
