Hello,
I have the exact the same error
”
2215-EIT failure. VA boot record read failure.
Ensure drive with VA image is installed correctly.
”
It’s a HP Compaq dc7800 Small Form Factor PC
System BIOS 786F1, V01.04
Maybe it has something to do with MEBx.
I have tried to make CMOS reset, reboot & press CTRL + P at boot but I can’t access to MEBx.
the result: ” Error message disappear, but I can’t access & have a message like
” Attempting boot from CD-ROM
Attempting boot from Hypervisor ”
Thank you for help.

Ensure drive with VA image is installed correctly.
If you delete it, or replace the HDD then maybe that is where you need to concentrate your efforts.
A VA can be uninstalled. This can be because a VA is no longer needed or the user wants to install a dif-
ferent VA. Only one VA can be installed at any given time.
The following provides an example of a VA 2.6 appliance uninstallation:
1. Run the VA uninstallation file.
2. Reboot the system.
The ME firmware will display an error stating that VA has been uninstalled with the VA boot policy set
to Verified Boot and Halt. You will then see the 2221 POST error message (see“Appendix A: POST
Error Messages” on page 13).
3.Cycle power to the system and go into the MEBx by pressing Ctrl+P during POST.
4. Enter the MEBx password. probably admin admin respectively.
5.SelectIntel AMT Configuration.
6. Select VA Configurationat the bottom of the list and change the VA Boot Policy to Normal Boot.
Depending on the BIOS version, the system may reboot and then display the 2228 POST message
(see “Appendix A: POST Error Messages” on page 13). This is an informational message that lets the
user know that VTx has automatically been disabled. Press F1 to continue the boot process.
The system boots normally to Windows XP.
