Hi drittnisse, well it was an EOL special for me, it only cost £100/$185! Well I used ports 5 & 6, there ones near the back of the machine (If i remember correctly). RAID and AHCI is disabled. I also upgraded to the latest BIOS - 1.08 which is dated 30/06/08. I only get use of 2 hard disk's but that's ok for me  Let me know how you get on! |

Ah yes, forgot to make mention of that - it's a bit anoying and the PCI slot is a 3.3v only (so forget that old network card in the corner collecting dust from 2000
 )I know there is a way of adding support for some card's - I don't know if it will work - I added a couple of extra card's anyway. App its a Intel® Nineveh 82566DM according to the mobo specs and the model number will return results if searched on this forum but nothing to suggest it could work. I would like to have a go and get it working, but I have pently of other work that I need to get on with. It wasn't my money luckily, just my choice of cheap hardware  edited: as part of it wasn't making any sense. |

Hi there, I'm new to this community, but have already been reading offline a lot.
I've exactly the same probs with my Fujitsu-Siemens PRIMERGY Econel 100 S2. Just trying a bit with the esxi Is there anyone around, who got one of the first 4 sata-ports running ? The system recognizes both controllers: 00:31.02 IDE interface Mass storage controller: Intel Corporation 4 port SATA IDE Controller (ICH9) vmhba0 Class 0101: 8086:2920 00:31.05 IDE interface Mass storage controller: Intel Corporation 2 port SATA IDE Controller (ICH9) vmhba1 Class 0101: 8086:2926 But in the vi-client I only see this:  Isn't the controller the same as the one on the HP ML 110 G5 -> http://communities.vmware.com/message/964902#964902 ? Even my network card ist recognized (after editing the oem.tgz): 00:25.00 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation Intel onboard 100 s2 Gigabit Ethernet Controller vmnic0 Class 0200: 8086:10bd ... 01:00.00 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller vmnic2 Class 0200: 8086:105e 01:00.01 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller vmnic3 Class 0200: 8086:105e But it is not fount in the client:  Any other tips, hints or hacks ? Thanks a lot, Jan |
