Update to 5.1 from 5.0 Failed - Could not obtain module order...

Hey all,

I've got a PE2970 that is currently running ESXi 5.0.  I'm trying to update it to the latest version and I've downloaded the ESXi 5.1 ISO from Dell's website.  When I run the installation it gets to about 27% or so and then issues the following errors:

Error (see log for more info):

Could not obtain module order from esximage db

Error (see log for more info):

The installation profile could not be validated due to the following errors:

     - File path of '/etc/vmware/support' is claimed by multiple overlay VIBs: set(['Dell_bootbank_dell-configuration-vib_5.1-0A01', 'Dell_bookbank_Dell-Configuration-VIB_5.0-0'])

     - File path of '/etc/vmware/oem.xml' is claimed by multiple overlay VIBs: set(['Dell_bookbank_dell_configuration-vib_5.1-0A01', 'Dell_bootbank_Dell-Configuration-VIB_5.0-0'])

I'm fairly new to upgrading ESXi as I've mostly just supported in place systems.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Chris
