ESXi 5.0 Hang on booting installer (Dell R610)

Hi,

I'm trying to install ESXi 5.0 on a Dell R610.  Upon boot, the loader hangs on "Loading /s.v00", and a fun rainbow-static strip appears at the top of the screen.  Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Ideally Dell R610 should not cause any issue. It is supported hardware. Can you check if your BIOS is latest ?

Sorry for the delay, yes I did resolve, the issue was with the cdrom believe it or not.

Hmm, they had a similar issue with CD drives on certain models with 4.0 or 4.1 IIRC. Nice to know it still isn't resolved...
