Why would the ISO for this be unbootable on vmware vsphere? I've verified the checksum that all looks good. Attaching it to a VM and setting it as connected on start up etc and it still cannot find a bookable device. Frustrating because I really wanted to try thos out. I set VM hardware to Linux Other 5.x 64-bit too.

What version of VMware sphere? Are you talking about the installer for Kali Purple, or the installer for "standard" Kali Linux?

Please open an issue at https://bugs.kali.org to keep discussing it. Thanks!

Just an update, submitted it:

vSphere 7u3k (both esxi and vcenter). And it was the ISO installer for Purple. I tried downloading both via torrent & direct, uploaded to datastore, attached to a newly created VM and nothing. I'll try attaching it to an already working Linux box and see if it shows up there to rule out environment issues if possible. I'll open a ticket as well. Thanks!
