Hi,

this is PSOD(i.e Purple Screen Of Death) whenever Vmkernel is unable to handle any situation it throws this message using an inbuild module, the error message can be differnet depending upon the underlying problem.

In your case you are getting PF exception 14 in world 9815:sfcb-smx

for more information on the message please refer to following KB article

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1020181

VMware support has got tools to diagnose the PSOD messages.

Would reqeust you to contact them for further help.

Regards

Do you already check if all hardware are compatible with HCL ?

Thanks you so much all your replying and I am checking your provide links ....

Not believe that it involves HCL problem that very standard of IBM X3400 with ServerRaid 8k ...

it also try to use stand-alone IDE also it comes the sames too .

However , it tired few VM version also 5.0 4.1 4.0 4.0 custom for IBM too ...so not likely

to software it all makes me to give up ....

All , thanks you !
