This does not happen with other VM's. What do I have to add to above command in order to attach the default network adapter to the machine?
First look if the machine has any network interface. If it does, the guest OS probably does not support the model, so you can change that. If it does not have one, then you probably want to use '--network network=default' in your virt-install command and you can always look that up in the man page as well (e.g. man virt-install).
or is there any other trick I have to be aware of when it comes to installing ESXi
No idea as I have never installed anything like that.
thx ... Gunnar
Hope that helped, Martin
