I've just installed Xubuntu 16.04.3 on a VMware Vsphere ESXi 6.5 system but at random moments the system hangs for which I can only perform a hard reset to be able to reconnect. I already played with the RAM and video memory but no real change.

This is the configuration of my ESXi 6.5:

And here an extract from /var/log/syslog

syslog

In ESXI there the following event occurs:

The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

I've found the following KB article

I've installed the linux-crashdump tools and now I have a vmlinuz file but at the moment I'm stuck at how to analyze it.

Maybe it could also be a bug in ESXI 6.5 as I learn in this post.

What could be the cause of the sudden system halts? I'll be happy to provide further information through syslogs.

I've solved this problem (sort of) by migrating the VM to another ESXI (5.1) in the company and on this server it has not given me any problems so far. Thus, most probably the problem relies in ESXI 6.5.
