Shutting down firmware services esxi ошибка

When i try to boot ESXi over UEFI PXE with default configuration load freeze with that message:

Shutting down firmware services...
Using 'simple offset' UEFI RTS mapping policy

The working fix for me, that i found in net:

1. Boot installer via bootx64.efi with -U from ipxe
2. Write norts=1 to /efi/boot.cfg

That fix it on all my servers: H3C, SuperMicro, HP

My configs:

boot.cfg

bootstate=0

kernel=b.b00

iPXE item:

A large number of J1900 mining machines appeared in Xianyu. Seeing that the chassis is good, they started a B-type dual network card. After hard modification, it was successfully cracked into dual gigabit. So I thought about installing an ESXI6.7 to play a virtual machine.

Unexpectedly encountered a problem:

“Shutting down firmware services…

Using 'simple offset' UEFI RTS mapping policy

Relocating modules and starting up the kernel…”

I found relevant information on the Internet, and the solution is as follows:

1. There is a countdown before the ESXi installation starts. At this time, press Shift + O, add ignoreHeadless=TRUE after the displayed command, press Enter, and the installation can proceed normally. For the installation process, please refer to » ESXI Installation Process and Basic Configuration » «;
2. The following steps are to write this parameter value into the configuration, it will not be lost with restart;
3. When ESXi starts, click F2 to log in;
4. Under System Customization, enter Troubleshooting Options;
5. Enable ESXi Shell , and then press ESC all the way to return; (ssh ok)
6. In the main interface, press Alt + F1 to access the console;
7. Log in, enter and execute the following commands:

#Enter maintenance mode

vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

#Check if the host is in maintenance mode

vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode

#Set ESXI boot to ignore graphics card errors

esxcfg-advcfg --set-kernel "TRUE" ignoreHeadless

# check command

esxcfg-advcfg --get-kernel ignoreHeadless

#Exit maintenance mode

vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit

8. Enter exit to log out of the console;
9. Click Alt+F2 to return to the main interface of ESXi;
10. Disable ESXi Shell;
11. Finish.
