Getting purple screen attempting to install ESXi 5.0

[bcrespo123]

I am attempting to install ESXi 5.0, but getting purple screen "no place on disk for dump data" Debugger waiting (world 2048) no port for remote debugger"  I think I know what it mean and have attempted to review Global Knowledge for history and/or recommendations.

Thank you for your response in advance

Per my earlier email, I was attempting to boot the ESXi 5.0 ISO Installer,  from my Super Drive attached to the new MAC Mini. I have attched a snapshoot of the of ESXi results after installation. In rthe event yoy are not able to read the bottom of the screen, please let me and I will take another snapshoot. Any input is much appreciated.

Thank you,

I read the thread, and I must say and thank you for it reads like what I have to do. I will edit and add the "iovDisableIR=True" and give you and update.

Thank you!

I was able to load the ESXi succesfully after thge edit modifications. This is my first MAC, and will be adding additional MAC's in my Cisco UC9.x VoIP Lab Built Out. I appreciate your support and quick response.

Thank you,
