I have not done any real testing beyond installation, boot, and console login but here are my results:
Ubuntu Server and Desktop both installed and booted without error.
CentOS 7 likewise installs and boots without error.
ESXi 6.5.0 installs and boots without error. To boot to the installer via F7 boot menu USB I had 2 options - one that showed the model of my flash drive and one that said UEFI USB USB Hard Drive. I had to choose the UEFI to get it to boot. Choosing the one with the flash drive model (which worked for Ubuntu) didn't work.
Can't get the 10g onboard up and running, both Ubuntu and CentOS seem to have drivers (Intel 82599EN 10G) and show the 10G MAC address but show cable unplugged. ESXi only shows vmnic0 with the 10G MAC and says unplugged.
ESXi shows vmnic0, no other details aside from the MAC for the 10G, and says it's unplugged.
I'm using a DAC to a 10G port on an Aruba switch, I get a link light on the switch but not the onboard NIC. When I try to network boot, it comes up with media test failure so I'm not sure if it's the DAC or if the 10G interface on the server doesn't like the DAC.
Still no luck getting a windows server bootable USB to boot. I'm more or less out of steam for the night. I may take a shot at hooking up an optical drive, burning a windows server iso to disk and see if I can get it to boot that way tomorrow.
Edit: I couldn't walk away... Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016 have all now been booted from USB and start to load setup. They all then fail. Bluescreen while loading setup, all 3 of them throwing ACPI_BIOS_ERROR
