Strange problems on ESXi 5.0.0 (build 469512)

Hello,

I just installed ESXi on a server and there are many strange problems.

At first install I got boot image is corrupted error. So, I re-installed the system and now;

* I can't access to http://IP_ADDRESS/
* I can enable to SSH access but it's not permanent. It restored to disable state after reboot.

* I can't access to system via vSphere.

* I can't get prompt via CTRL+ALT+F1. It stucks just before prompt.

Are these normal ?

I can ping the ESXi server and it can ping outside. There is no firewall or port blocking between server and me.

What can you suggest ?

Thank you.

Its a network configuration problem.
