Forgot to add other specs (if it helps) ... Centos 7.9.2009 (though i dont think minor version matters) LVM 2.02.187 Update: Testing with Kernel 5.13.x (specifically 5.13.13) - Still fails to Pickup LVM partitions on /dev/sda (which is detected) in VMWare. VM Container Specs: attached in screen print Where boot stops loading: attached in screen print Created attachment 300289 [details]

5.13 is no longer supported. The fix was merged in 5.16:
142c779d05d1 ("scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set residual data length conditionally")
and I believe it has been backported to all the currently supported
stable releases.
wow thanks - I will pull one down (after confirming the 142c779d05d1 buildin) and test! Yah, looks like 5.15.13, 5.10.90, 5.4.170, 4.19.224, 4.14.261 and likely other current LT kernels have this fix. Now to test, prolly tomorrow; maybe tonight excited about the fix!! @Martin -- yah!! it works!! (testing kernel 5.15.13) This bug affects RHEL-9 (beta).
