** Description changed: OVA used: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server- cloudimg-amd64.ova Created a new VM using vSphere 6.5.0 Flash client and Deploy OVF functionality. Target host is VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5969303, managed through the vSphere. When initially created, the VM was created with ESXi Compatibility version 5.5 (VMWare HW version 10). I later upgraded the VM to ESXi Compatibility 6.0 (VMWare HW version 11), after which it hung up during the boot process (see attached screenshot). I then attached a serial port to the VM to get kernel logs during boot. With a serial port attached, the boot process no longer hangs. Removing the serial port reproduces the issue, and adding it back resolves it again. The issue also reproduces with ESXi Compatibility 6.5 (VMWare HW version 13). - Is there some way to get + I tried to get more information from the system using magic sysrq, but I + have not yet found anyway to get the commands across to the VM.
