Welcome to the forums.

I'm going to have to agree. The version of ESXi that includes HP Management Components, is really meant for support HP servers.

GIven that you have a DC7800, you might find more success using the vanilla ESXi installation ISO.

This image is for use on "supported ProLiant server platforms".

A dc7800 is thus not supported, use the standard image instead.

I am not sure what you mean by that. I thought I had a normal ESXi image. Do I not?

I'd suggest switching to the regular ESXi install ISO.

I am installing VMware ESXi 3.5 U3 Installable with HP Management Components on my HP dc7800 and am running into an issue. I get to the Inistalizing screen and when the install gets to Initializing Processors I get a Pink screen of death. The following is in on the screen: (see the attachment). Can someone help?
