Re: Intel DG35EC

Hi,

 

Glad I could help.  I searched for a LONG time for a solution for this board and decided to "give back" after solving my issues.

 

I will be moving on to my Intel DG45ID next.  It should also be supported out the box with Update 4.

 

Regards,

 

Darren

Re: Intel DG35EC

Thanks a lot, I will try all of these when i get home and let you know the results.  I recall trying the last link to no avail.  Would i need to set the sata setting in the bios to IDE to make this work?

Re: Intel DG35EC

In same cases ESXi will load the IDE driver for the SATA controller even if it is not IDE / legacy mode.  It depends on the specific controller that you have on the MB.

Re: Intel DG35EC

Hi,

 

Can't remember the exact setting (and my box is running) so I cannot get into the BIOS.  But you definitely want it set to SATA/AHCI/RAID whichever of those options is supported.

Re: Intel DG35EC

 

lspci gives shows me 00:31.02 Mass Storage controller: Intel Corporate  

 

 

The same is shown for 00:31:05 and 03:00:00.

 

 

 

 

 

fdisk -l shows nothing..    

 

 

I can tell that my onboard NIC was discovered as vmnic0 though,

 

 

The install wont work with update 3 or 4

 

 

Any help would be apreciated.
