I have an ASROCK Z97 Extreme6 mother, Xeon 1240 processor, 32GB RAM, I decided to install the esxi hypervisor.
I install esxi 5.5U1 on a USB flash drive according to this article, I try to boot from it. To do this, I choose to boot from UEFI in UEFI. USB Kingston, but nothing loads, just a black screen. I tried to make an installation USB flash drive according to this article, but nothing is loaded either. In the bios, vt-d, and other virtualization items are enabled. What could be the reason for this? It seems that something needs to be disabled (or enabled) in the BIOS.
I just don't think it should be. At least something should be loaded and displayed on the screen, then, when the hypervisor is loaded, something may not be determined (network, SATA). I'm sure about the network one, it's Intel (in HCL), I'm not sure about SATA.

without Uefi it won't boot either
EHCI is
on
Maybe someone will give some ideas how to solve the problem.
In my opinion, the problem is buried in the BIOS (the latest one is installed) and I think that something is not disabled or something unnecessary is enabled. security boot disabled. Also loaded in Legacy mode. I also changed flash drives, and USB ports
