Check the port group that you are cloning to, check if there are any spaces in the name and if so rename them eg: vswif1. Then try your clone.

what version of esx? ESXi, 3.x or 3.5 update X?

Do you have any Resouce pools on the esx server?

Is the ESX server certified or is is just a test server?

Are you using - SCSI, iSCSI, SAN, SATA or IDE hdd's?

Intel or AMD?
