Title:
  It hangs during booting after deploy cloud image(.ova)  and upgrade
  hardware vesion in ESXi

Status in cloud-images:
  Confirmed
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Problem:
  -----------
  It hangs during booting after deploy cloud image groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova and upgrade hardware vesionin ESXi

  
  Step:
  -----------
  1) deploy groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova in ESXi (not power-on after deploy)
     After deploying, the default hardware version is 10

  2) upgrade VM Hardware version to 17

  3) poweron VM

  4) It hangs during VM booting


  Resolution:
  ------------
  We need to add serial port in the VM when VM hardware version is larger than 10 

  VMware have KB for the issue: https://kb.vmware.com/kb/52683

  
  It will be better if we have serial port in cloud image groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova by default.


  Thanks
