or with the e1000 nic:

Many thanks Patrick for your valuable help!!. I've found the problem:
removing my <cpu> entries and adding "<cpu mode='host-passthrough'>",
works...

But in my case, I can't assign vmxnet3 as a virtual nic for ESXi, it
seems is not supported at this time ...

Have you tried installing with the e1000 nic (the second virt-install
command)?

Forgot to ask. Is the vmxnet3 kernel module loaded? It's present on EL7:

/usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3.ko

It should show up in:
# lsmod | grep vmxnet3

If it doesn't then do:
# modprobe -v vmxnet3

and try the virt-install command again.

Cheers,
Patrick
