Hi a.p.
Thank you for the reply. The VM version is now vmx-09 but same thing is happening.
Longmode is unsupported. It is required for 64-bit guest OS support. On Intel systems, longmode requires VT-x to be enabled in the BIOS. On nested virtual ESX hosts, longmode requires the "Virtualized Hardware Virtualization" flag to be enabled on the outer VM.
Is adding vhv on the vmx file not enough? I don't have web client to enable Virtualized HV.
