Hi
Trying to setup a test server with esxi 5
The server is a small ibm xseries X3100 M4 with an E3-1220 Xeon cpu and a serveraid M5014 disk controller, and 16GB ram.
I can see the cpu is on the HCL and so is the raid controller.
When booting the esxi 5 installer cd it loads all modules and then in the last message it says: Relocating modules and starting up the kernel...
And thats it! Nothing happens after that no error messages come up so i have no information to guide me in the right direction. ( I left it there overnight and still no progress )
Tried several of the esxi versions: vmware RTM 5.0.0 and the update 1 and the IBM customized image as well
I have it running esxi4 just fine but don't want to start of with an outdated esxi version.
Can anyone help me with this?
regards from a huge fan of vmware
