PSOD on ESX 5.1 upgrade - Could not load multiboot modules:bad parameter

Hello all,

I am receiving the pink screen of death and the error “Could not load multiboot modules:bad parameter” when trying to upgrade from ESX 4.1 to ESXi 5.1 on a Dell PowerEdge R210-II with 32 GB of RAM. According to the HCL it is supported. BIOS is running at latest supported version of 2.8.0.

I found the VMWare KB below but could not find any module errors in the /var/log/messages file:

ESX/ESXi driver module fails to load and reports the error: Bad parameter (1038247) | VMware KB

Server specs are as follows:

Any ideas why its not working?
