ESX/ESXi with Tyan motherboards

[aminf13]

We are interested in using the Tyan S2912-E motherboard with VMWare ESX

/ ESXi, but we did not see it in the supported motherboard list.

Is

it possible that VMWare ESX / ESXi would work with the S2912-E? Also,

on the supported motherboard list, we found the Tyan 25915-E. We

believe that this is a typo, and that you meant to list the Tyan

S2915-E (right?)

Another question: does anyone know if VMWare ESX / ESXi works with coreboot BIOS?

It is possible that mother board might work with ESX/ESXi but if it is not supported i would expect if any of the onboard devices like NICs and drive controller will work - check out vm-help.com - it is a great source for getting whitebox hardware to work with VMware -

In regards to coreboot BIOS I do not see why it should not work but it will fall into the non-supported category -
