I built a machine to run as a VMWare ESXI host version 6.7. I installed Windows 10 there and it started normally. When trying Ubuntu 18.04, the installation completed but after a short period the VM shut down unexpectedly, showing an error saying "The operation is not allowed in the current state." The Windows VM still functions properly. I also tested Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 7.5, getting the same issue. I'm looking for possible solutions.

When setting up the Linux VM, you specify which kernel ESXi should use. You might have explored alternatives like 'Linux 64Bit Other'. If the host has difficulty maintaining stable emulation, this could indicate an issue.

I haven't tested "Linux 64bit other." I used Ubuntu 64-bit in a VM and CentOS 75 x64 for CentOS. I'll try the alternative now.

What components are available? If the system is older than Skylake, you might need to deploy ESXi 6.5.

I tested the Ubuntu 18.04 VM using 6.5 compatibility and everything worked fine.
