RE: Why Esxi 6.5 or 6.7 fail to start setup GUI via iPXE
I then would like to refer you to the FAQ, especially the section:
Quote:I'm trying to boot an .efi in bios mode, I'm trying to boot bios code in EFI mode

There sometimes is questions how to run EFI code from bios mode, or bios code from EFI mode.
Since this is different types of environments (think trying to run a mac application on windows) this never* works.

EFI enabled machines have something called CSM (Compatibility Support Module) which when enabled allows for EFI firmware to enter bios mode.
This does generally not allow for EFI code to run bios code.
(* There have been reports of bios code being executed from EFI PXE boot - this is likely a bug/security flaw in that firmware)
