VMWare STOP: 0x0000005D

Posted October 16th, 2009 by Matt Shadbolt

This error occurs if you have configured the VM’s General Options to be a 32-bit Operating System and booting from a 64-bit Windows Server disk.

    Thanks for the tip Matt. What a noob mistake for me to make. :P

    Running into this deploying a 2k3 32bit server under vSphere 4.1. If I set the VM to be 32bit, it still pulls down the 64bit winpe image. Strange. My SCCM guy is going to look at it in a bit. If I choose to set it to a 64bit 2k3, it starts the deployment fine.

    Add to that: when I choose the 32bit 2k3 image during the deployment, it then pulls down the proper 32bit winpe image and reboots. I was able to set it back to 32bit by powering off before it booted the 1st time and everything seems fine.
