LOL yesterday i installed the U3 on the first box today there 6 new patches....

In which order would you manually install the 6 patches from 12/02? I tried to install the patches in the order ESX350-200811401-SG, ...02, ...05, ...06, ...08 and ...09. But because the patch ESX350-200811401-SG has a dependency to the patch ESX350-200811402-SG thats not possible. There are also some other dependencies between that 6 patches - so which install order would be the best?

I have 3 Dell GX520s with A11 BIOS (the BIOS upgrade labels it as a GX620 so I assume it's the same). To clarify, these GX520s are the single core 3GHz GX520s with the ICH-7 chipset.

I tried modifying the simple.map on the CD with the U2 values, but after burning the CD and booting from it, I get a pink screen of death telling me that:

Cannot set up ramdisk: Boot image is corrupted

frame=0x1402c44...

... VisorFSObj: 2165: Tar header is invalid for etc/vmware/simple.map

No place on disk to dump data...

I can include the rest of it, but that is, to my untrained eye, the pertinent parts.

At this point, I'm trying to locate a U2 install disk and will just use it to install then try the fix on the installed system.

If anyone else has been successful getting a CD with the changes to boot, please let me know how you did it and I'll try to recreate that.
