Dell 1420 install ESX4.0 failed CPUID is limited

 

I install esx4.0 on dell 1420, but blocked. I got the following message when boot from cd.

 

 

Kernel-panic-not syncing;Unsupported BIOS setting(CPUID is limited)

Disable 'limit cpuid value' or 'support legacy/nt4 os' in bios

 

 

CosSup:406 vmkernel not loaded: cannot psod

 

 

 

 

 

i searched on net, found add "nocheckCPUIDLimit" can resolve the same problem when install esxi 4.0. But it doesn't work with esx 4.0. Any one has ideas? Thanks in advance.

Esxi 4.0 can install successful in my dell 1420. You can have a try.

Hi,

 

 

I had the same problemand I don't think the nocheckCPUIDlimit is a option in ESX(i) 4.0 I couldnt find it at least. I think you're stuck on using 3.5 on this machine.

 

 

I did wrote a blog posting about how to install ESX and ESXi 3.5 on unsupported machines.
