I have Dell Vostro A180 and trying to install ESXi 4.0.
I get error:
Failed to load tpm
Failed to load lvmdriver
Any hints?
You will have trouble installing to unsupported hardware. You may be able to disable TPM in the bios but you have an unsupported network card. I would go to http://vm-help.com for assistance.
What kind of network card to install?
I have 2 PCI slots, so what kind of Nic to get? Where can I find supported NIC?
You can look at the Hardware Compatibility List under IO devices but I think you should look to see if anyone has installed on that particular machine at http://vm-help.com. You may also have a problem getting ESXi to install to the hard drive. ESXi is a server operating system and expects to see server components.
