Has anyone been successful in installing Sierra on ESXi 6u2 w/AMD

[rgiles1818]

Trying to install Sierra ISO on ESXi 6u2 host that has AMD processors.

 

I'm using an ISO that was created for working on VMWare Workstation not created by me.

 

I executed the esxi-install.sh in the CLI from UNLOCKER 2.0.8

 

When the VM boots for the first time, the apple appears and then the VM powers off.

 

This is my vmx file contents:

Hope someone can give suggestions.

without sourcecode ==> we can not build an amd kernel for sierra, presumably Apple will release the source to the end of the year ?
