PSOD trying to deploy nested ESXI 8.x installation via ipxe

[oloco]

Hi,
I know nested virtualization is not supported, and in my case, I'm just making some testing deployments. But anyway, I'd like to know if someone could just guide me in order to try to find the issue regarding this screen, and also, what is the way you usually use to diagnose this kind of errors, tah are not very clear for "normal people", who doesn't know so much about this.

I'm deploying VMware-VMvisor-Installer-8.0U3b-24280767.x86_64.iso via ipxe. Once all the modules are loaded, the screen splashes this PSOD. I've already tried to modify boot.cfg using some modifiers, like

kernelopt=runweasel systemMediaSize=min allowLegacyCPU=true cpuUniformityHardCheckPanic=FALSE loglevel=debug ...



but with no luck. I've also have a look to de debig ogs, but I cannot understand most of the things, so it would be very helpful if someone could guide me in order to figure out what can be happening

Thanks a lot in advance!!

What version of ESXi and CPU do you have in your ESXi host?

Thanks a lot for your advices

The problem was related to the cpu. As William says, using ignoreMsrFaults option it works
