Re: Error 15 file not found press any key to continue after ESX 4.1 remediation Gene H Feb 23, 2011 11:49 AM (in response to Gene H) I found a solution that is loosely based upon KB article 1004966http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004966I continued on and went into the Troubleshooting mode.From there I logged in and issued a "reboot" command. The host then booted up clean.Once it was up, I used Update Manager to rescan the host and then to re-apply the patches that were listed as not applied the first time.Gene Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2.

patching have failed Written by Pawel Lakomski on Wrzesień 12th, 2012 I enountered a situation when a update / patch application to a ESX host failed and after the reboot the host did not boot. When I connected to the console I found the following error: Error 15: Could not find file A quick Google search and voila! - this VMware KB seems to talk about my issue! But hold on a second, they ask to „Select Service Console Only mode (ESX 3.5) or Troubleshooting mode (ESX 4.x) on the Grub menu." Here's the problem - I cannot boot to the Service Console either for the same reason. Everything I could https://communities.vmware.com/thread/303886?tstart=0 do was edit GRUB configuration and I found out that one line in the entry for the Service Console (well, in fact for ESX and ESX debug mode too) pointed to: kernel --no-mem-option /vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELvmnix So was this file missing? Earlier I applied the same patch(es) to another host so I connected to it and had a look on the bootloader config file (/boot/grup/grup.conf). Here I found that this line was quite different: kernel --no-mem-option /vmlinuz-2.4.21-58.ELvmnix http://pawellakomski.pl/blog/error-15-could-not-find-file-on-esx-after-patching-have-failed/ I went back to my unbootable server and edited Service Console entry in GRUB - where you're presented with GRUB boot menu, select Service Console and press ‘e', then go down to the proper line and select ‘e' again. Make desired modifications, in my case was simply to change ‘vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELvmnix' to ‘vmlinuz-2.4.21-58.ELvmnix'. Press enter to acknowledge changes and press ‘b' to boot with your settings. The server booted to the service console and I followed the instructions from the KB: esxcfg-boot -p
esxcfg-boot -b
esxcfg-boot -r I rebooted the server and booted to ESX with no problem. The server will be reinstalled anyway as I do not trust it but this whole operation gave me time and if you have one host only, it can save you.
