The list below is based on a G+ discussion in a single language, but has way broader aspects.
It’s on value types, mutability, parameterless constructors and expectations of compiled code.
I’ve bitten myself in the foot with mutable types in too many languages too often, so I started advocating this years ago at clients, and now in this blog-post.
TL;DR:

No Google results for “balloonVMCI loaded successfully”.
I had this when booting from a USB installation of ESXi 6.5.0.a.
It got resolved with ESXi 6.5.0 Update 1. Apparently the first version has issues booting on a SuperMicro-X10SRH-CF from a USB stick.
It’s a bit tricky to get the accompanying VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-5969303.x86_64.iso as the my VMware site is a bit broken (even if you have the license, it says you are not entitled), but luckily the ESXi 6.5 update 1 download page [Cache/Archive.is] has the hashes:

SHA256SUM:f6e5000dff423c275b3ffbdfe08145f369d04b8c4ade5a413f2ef2a029a5e3ef
You also need a good USB stick. If it’s not good enough, you get errors like “Host Local Swap Location has not been enabled” during boot**.

Just out of curiosity, I wanted to try run a CHKDSK at boot time of a non-system disk.
The trick appears to be to ensure something locks the drive. An easy way to do that is have a command prompt open inside a directory on that drive.
The below example show just that: a regular command prompt locking the E: drive and an administrative command prompt scheduling the check at boot time:
Regular command prompt:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063] (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\jeroenp>e: E:\>cd $RECYCLE.BIN E:\$RECYCLE.BIN>
Administrative command prompt:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /R /F E: The type of the file system is NTFS. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) n Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) y This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts. C:\WINDOWS\system32>
