HEre is the situation - I install EXSi 4 up 1 using a USB drive. During the install it asks to what disk I want to do the install. I can see all of my SATA 2 disks, there are 4 and they are the only drives on the system. The system has an onboard nvidia RAID but I have the RAID disabled so the drives "pass through" as IDE.
I select the first disk as the install location and all goes well. I even get to go in and set a password after the install completes. Then, if I do a shutdown \[F12\] the server will not come back up. It seems to hang on the boot drive. I moved the USB drive down in priority for boot order to just below the disk that received the install and it hangs. If i move the usb back to first loader position I can reinstall but Default and Book local disk both fail.
But the install reboots after it completes... and everything comes up fine - it is after controlled shutdown or restart that the HD is no longer bootable...
Ideas? I read somewhere else that maybe I just need to wait a really long time - like 30 minutes.... ? I'll go try that after this install...
