# General Notes

ESXi 6.x and 7.x hangs on "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel…”

After booting from your installation media, press Shift+ O (o for oscar, not zero) and you'll be able to add additional kernel options. Enter the following (not case sensitive)

ignoreheadless=true

Press Enter, and the ESXi installer should continue as normal.
