Photon OS 5.0 GA Minimal or Full ISO fails to install on boot on VMware Workstation 17

[jandrews65]

Describe the bug

Error on boot of Photon 5.0 GA on VMware Workstation 17

and installation stops dead.

Photon 5.0 GA OVA does work as expected

Reproduction steps

1. Start VMware Workstation 17
2. New Virtual Machine, select 64-bit Photon as OS
3. Attach ISO image photon-minimal-5.0-dde71ec57.x86_64.iso or photon-5.0-dde71ec57.x86_64.iso
4. Boot the VM ...

Expected behavior

I expected the Photon OS iso to boot and allow installation of Photon 5.0 to a new VM

Additional context

This also fails on the previous ISOs (Beta) as well

The VMware workstation version is 17.0.2 build-21581411

Does not work on any 5.0 ISO image This is from the 5.0beta boot attempt
