Hello Ebbe, welcome to the VMware Community forums. The PE 830 and 840 have been tested - http://www.vm-help.com/Whitebox_HCL.php - you should be OK with the 860. What model of perc controller does it have?

HI Bytemind,
Welcome to the forums! I'm currently using VMWare's ESXi 3.5 Update2 on two Dell 860's successfully. I'm using the Dell SAS 5/iR controller. |

That was my point. Installs using the PERC or SAS card seem to work. Without a PERC or SAS card (using onboard sata) doesn't work. The onboard SATA works fine in other OSes, just not in ESXi.

PowerEdge 860 - ESXi Installable Update 3 or from 120505 to 130755 cause "Fail to find HD Boot partition", the explanation in http://communities.vmware.com/thread/185045?tstart=0
