LinuxPE loads rootfs.gz and then remains at the Ready prompt regardless of what job was run.

Hello all,

I am running DS 6.9 SP6 on Windows 2008 R2 Standard in a domain, within a VMWare Workstation 12 environment. 

When a machine is booted to LinuxPE via any job, it remains at the Ready prompt after loading rootfs.gz instead of moving further forwards. 

I cannot even type anything at this prompt. 

Any ideas?
