Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/VFrontDe-Org/ESXi-Customizer-PS/issues/61

Trying to build custom ESXi 8.0 image with some additional VIBs using this command:

.\ESXi-Customizer-PS.ps1 -v80 -vft -load sata-xahci,net55-r8168,net-igb

And getting these errors:

Load additional VIBs from Online depots ...
   Add VIB sata-xahci 1.42-1 [New AcceptanceLevel: CommunitySupported] [FAILED, invalid package?]
   Add VIB net55-r8168 8.045a-napi [FAILED, invalid package?]
   Add VIB net-igb 5.3.2-99 [FAILED, invalid package?]

This problem is only with ESXi 8.0, with version 7.0 everything is correct.

Is there a way to fix it?

How did you manage to put the net55 8168 driver in esxi 7?

I highly doubt these were successfully added into ESXi 7.0. 6.x, yes...but not 7.0 or above. The reason is that those drivers were built using an old Linux kernel that is no longer supported in 7.0 and above. You can try the Network Community driver which has been productized into 8.0 and see if that works, otherwise, you're out of luck using these older drivers.

Hello, I do have exactly the same issue with the driver Net-r8139too I'm getting the same warning [FAILED, invalid package?]

I need this driver for installation of ESXI 8.0 as a VM in VMM (Virtual Machine Manager on a Synology DiskStation).

If this driver is not compatible to ESXi 8.0 there are two alternatives connecting the VM to the network:

virtio and e1000

do you know if there is a working driver with ESXi 8.0 for those ....??? In the List of currently available ESXi packages there is one driver Net-e1000e - does it work with ESXi 8.0 and is it compatible to e1000 ?
