I have the same problem… Using Workstation 16, the last output is ‘random: crng init done…’

Running Workstation 16 on Ubuntu 20.04, using the VMDK Version 4.13.
I tried with and without conversion of the vmdk, edited the vmx to include firmware = “efi”, guest OS = “Other Linux 5.x and later kernel 64-bit”

Is there anything I am missing?

For VMWare Workstation 15, the only change from https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/ from the VMWare defaults is to use SATA instead of SCSI for the disk type. I’m not sure why this isn’t in the instructions.

Otherwise I get the same problem as Charghoul… hanging after “crng init done”.
