I hadn’t used esxi since ages so decided to give esxi 6.5 a go on KVM.
Loaded ESXi 6.5 on it and the installer is going alright (e1000 was required).

It’s going to be whatever unbuntu was current back then. I do recall using both their boxed in qemu/KVM along with building the latest release from source to get the same results.

I would like to know which qemu version did you use for this experiment, perhaps the linux distro you used as well.

Thanks!
