hi,
i wanted to install the ESXi Server on my new EP Elite 7200 Desktop and after i accept the License it crashes:
the last message i see:
vmkctl.hostctlexecption: unable to load module /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3: failure
anybody has a clue?
i dont think that esxi wont work on the computer.
theres a windows7 installation on the harddisk - i want to overwrite it
thanks!
ESXi isn't able to recognize a NIC in the system. You can add something like an Intel Pro 1000 GT or if the system has a realtek NIC you can try a community compiled version - http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/customize_oem_tgz.php.
do you really think its the nic?
i just deactivated it and still get the same error.
-i am using ahci mode for sata
-the systems uses a geforce gt420 gfx card, intel corei5 quad core
During the installation ESXi requires a network card before the installer can proceed.
jeah thanks. i already realised that
is there a way to check if vmware is compatible with the installed nic?
The official list is at www.vmware.com/go/hcl. Here's what ESXi can recognize http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/Hardware_support.php
...buying a supported pci express card ...
thanks for the hints.
hi. just installed my new intel network card and esxi is installing right now. it works. thanks for the hints!
