You have posted in the ESX 3.0 forum. What version are you using?

What version 4.x or 5 so I can move the post to the correct location.

I don't know that there is an EventID list. You can use the ESXi console or SSH to an ESXi host and use vmkerrcode -l to show a list of error codes and a brief description. Redirect the command to a file so you can copy the list off to a datastore and download or scp it.
