Install ESXi 6.0U2 in VMware Workstation Pro 12 (12.1.1) VM with SATA virtual Hard disk, but ESXi 6.0U2 installation cannot detect the SATA virtual hard drive

These two days I'm install ESXi in Workstation Pro 12.

(1) create VM in workstation, 4x cpu, 16GB member, create 100GB SATA harddrive, select OS ESXi 6.0, connect virtual CD to ESXi 6.0U2 iso file.

(2) Power on this VM to install ESXi ,  during the installation,  the installer cannot detect any SATA hard drive, so cannot proceed.

if I change the Hard drive type to SCSI, the installation has no problem,  installation and running is smooth, nested VM in ESXi also have no problem.

Any hints or idea?

I have tried to add the following to workstation vmx file, but no hlep

sata0.present = "TRUE"

sata0.virtualDev = "ahci"

sched.sata0:0.shares = "normal"
sched.sata0:1.shares = "normal"
sched.sata0:2.shares = "normal"
sched.sata0:3.shares = "normal"
sched.sata0:4.shares = "normal"

sched.sata0:0.throughputCap = "off"
sched.sata0:1.throughputCap = "off"
sched.sata0:2.throughputCap = "off"
sched.sata0:3.throughputCap = "off"
sched.sata0:4.throughputCap = "off"

thanks
