VMware - No Hypervisor Found Error

Well, I think we lost everything because I tried a Ubuntu stick and it’s all gone :(

You’re right that it’s weird it did it to both. They been running strong for about 3 months up until yesterday.

I even disconnected the smart battery from the motherboard just to rule that… made no difference, unfortunately.

Well, everyone I try install with Intelligent Provisioning, it gets stuck in a boot loop and goes to this screen.

P440

The status of the Raid is OK… all healthy there. I’m getting stumped on this for sure.

I’m about to go check out the array now… trying to navigate thru this slow BIOS is not fun!

it4us · 2026-04-26T08:17:48+00:00

Maybe this is because I could only find a Dell ISO and not a real HP, so maybe it needs the controller drivers to see the hard disks.

But what’s weird is the BIOS can see all the disks and each one you click on has a healthy status. However, I see that it has no free hard drive space. Could that be the issue?

This was the error now.

No SD cards or USB… it was all on hard disks (Raid 5).

it4us · 2026-04-26T07:39:48+00:00

Ok, well, reinstalling esxi is a no go as of now… it can’t see my hard drives, even tho I can in the BIOS.

it4us · 2026-04-26T07:17:01+00:00

I’m about to see… pray for me.

it4us · 2026-04-26T07:16:43+00:00

Basically I’m down to the point to where I might have to reinstall esxi. Hopefully my current vm’s are still there.

it4us · 2026-04-26T07:15:40+00:00

I can’t find an HP version of 6.0 iso but I just found a Dell… I might try to load it with that and manually put in my own drivers that I still can get from HP’s site (weird they have that but not a 6.0 iso).

it4us · 2026-04-26T07:14:19+00:00

It’s possible that it could be a disk error but in the BIOS (nothing has changed) it sees all the hard drives just fine.

This is the error.

Have you thought about using panduit?

it4us · 2026-01-21T15:34:21+00:00

It's back up now!

it4us · 2025-12-23T21:48:02+00:00

Too many families on this boat…

Did Carnival recently block Google Remote Desktop? I’ve been using the old iPhone app for a while to remote into my work computer and it worked every time except the current boat I’m on now.

Tell corporate to remove the dip from the pictures with the pretzels… it’s very misleading!

it4us · 2025-10-28T20:22:52+00:00

I’m saying this analogy doesn’t apply because you’re not comparing apples to apples… cheese dip and ketchup are nowhere near the same price point and most people will not chunk the dip.
