ESXi 5.1U, Z87-PRO, Adaptec ASR-6805E

Hello,

I am posting this to help somebody else to set up an ESXi Server with following hardware:

- Intel i7-4770

- Asus Z87-PRO

- Adaptec-6805E

To use on board I217-V Network Card and This particular RAID card, customized ISO will have to be created.

When installing, add "formatwithmbr" to the end of the command. Also, disable UEFI.

I will attach drivers to this post. Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions.

Cheers.

Hello,

Run into the same problem on Asrock H97 Pro4 (customized Esxi 5.5 U2 won't boot)

Updated UEFI firmware to the latest version and all worked like a charm.
