I had a frozen VM on an ESXi 4.1 machine. I attempted to kill it using the usual methods, but nothing seemed to work, so I rebooted the host machine fully. Now when the host machine (not the VM!) boots, all I see is ...
for maybe 30 seconds or so, and then a blinking cursor comes up, and nothing seems to happen from there. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? The server hardware seems correct. | ||||

It turned out that the system did eventually boot, after about 3 hours. One of the hard drives in the raid array had corrupted, once it was swapped out everything was fine again. | |||

If you have the ESXi 4.1 CD, you can try re-installing the VMware ESXi Hypervisor. Then once you are done with it, you may have to re-do the settings for the VMware Host. Note that if repair is not available, you will need to re-install the host. In that case anything on the datastore where you will install the VMware Hypervisor will be deleted. | |||
