Hi,
I am trying to get a fresh install of Windows Server 2016 working on UCS B-Series blade with UEFI and boot from SAN and seem to be hitting a brick wall.
The OS is installed and I can see the Windows Boot Manager entry and the EFI files are present. However, every boot loads the logo and then stops with:
The operating system couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors. File: \Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Status: 0xc0000185
I have tried different media with no luck. I can see the file is present if I load a LiveCD.
This is connecting to a PURE storage array over FC and we already use boot from SAN for our ESXi hosts running on the same blade chassis.
Thanks
