Same behavior.

What's the ETA on 4.1U1?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't expect it before the end of the year.

Any update? Or still waiting?

Still waiting. I haven't heard any mention of a release date.

OK, looks like 4.1 U1 is out now, so worth trying the update from 4.0 -> 4.1U1?

Have you had a chance to try it?

I will probably try it later today (after sufficiently backing everything up)

OK. I am having the same behavior with 4.1U1

It is very frustrating. To be clear, what happens on reboot is it shows the initial white loading hypervisor progress bar. It gets to the end and the cursor just blinks.

On recovery reboot it gets to that point, pauses for about 1 sec, then the screen turns momentarily blue, then goes to the regular yellow ESXi loading status display.

I have attached my /var/log/messages just in case that helps...

Any ideas on what I should try now?

I suppose my other option is to just do a clean install of 4.1U1 (since I moved everything off the boot datastore).

Maybe that is the best route at this point?

(doing a clonezilla image of the drive before destroying it)
