SOLVED: After sending the post, I tried to DISABLE LEGACY BOOT- and that made thant thing continuing the setup process
Update1: Now the NVME doesn't get recognized by setup. So the search continues
Update2: The standard 6.5 U2 Image works with the NVME, so my customized 6.7 Image (with the 6.5 NVME VIB) is maybe not working. I will recompose the 6.7 image again and will send an update if it worked.
Hi there,
I'm feeling sorry for answering to this old thread, but I've got the same problem here.
Brand new NUC7i5DNHE and the installation keeps haning on 'Initializing storage stack'
What I did so far:
1. Bios Update to the most recent version.
2. Tried 6.5 U2 and 6.7 U3 original Images: No success.
3. Made a custom ISO 6.7 U3 with the NVME driver from 6.5 U2 after I saw this one here: https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2019/05/quick-tip-crucial-nvme-ssd-not-recognized-by-esxi-6-7.html also - No Success.
I can confirm that my BIOS is running in UEFI mode. I also tried it with Legacy Mode - no chance whatsoever.
Can you specify the setting's you made in detail ?
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Markus
