My latest server-project is based on a TYAN S3970 mobo with a single AMD Opteron 2346HE stepping BA cpu. When installing ESXi 3.5 U3 I'm getting slapped with a PSOD saying that the stepping of my cpu is not supported. Mobo BIOS is the latest available. When installing ESXi 3.5 U2 it works just fine...
My question is, if I were to get a new CPU with stepping B3, would that make U3 work? Can anyone confirm that? If I'm putting this baby in production I need to be sure that I can upgrade to future versions.
Thanks,
Christian
