New ESXi 5.5 Install threw PSOD, Raid controller driver?

Can I get someone to glance at the PSOD I got on a new install of 5.5 ?

Installed this on Friday night and this Monday morning it was sitting at a purple screen. Ran fine all weekend as far as I can tell.

Its a DL380p G8 with both p420i and p420 Raid controllers

using HP-ESXi 5.5.0 iso 1331820

I think its yelling about the Raid controller but cant say for sure.

Looking at the vmkernal log im seeing this line over and over.

I attached vmkwaring.log and vmkernal.log and a screenshot of the error.

Thank you guys!

Having the same issue where the hpsa -60 driver update is showing as "Not applicable" in VUM.  Anyone find the cause?

If you have the vSphere Update Manager installed, there are 2 download sources that you can add for the HP bundles and drivers. In Admin View -> Configuration -> Download Settings -> Add Download Source:

http://vibsdepot.hp.com/index.xml for HP bundles

http://vibsdepot.hp.com/index-drv.xml for HP drivers

My servers patched successfully this way.
