Hello world ;)

I just upgraded my old host based on Intel S5000VSATAR (ESB) with new LSI controller, but it's not working properly :(
After booting from installation CD ESXi 4.0 i saw my super-extra (huh) logical raid device (IME aka 10E) , so I've installed on my new device ESXi and after booting i get:

Failed to find boot partition

So, going through easy way, i've installed ESXi on single hard drive connected to mainboard (AHCI or Legacy). So far, so good :)
After trying manage my new-extra-10E-super-LSI-raid-drive by VS, i do not see it - nothing, no device, no storage nothing :(
No mater if the device is Raid 1, Raid 0, Raid 10E

Yes, i do not see this controler on HCL and can't find information about it anywhere

The guy on Polish forum Techit is writting about the controller and it's working ( http://forum.techit.pl/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=372 ) , so i'm lost :-|
under other system like linux (system rescue cd) i see logical drive

Any idea, any help ?
