install esxi 5.0 in rackable systems with s5000psl board

Hi.

Has anyone used this hardware with vmware esxi 5?  I've been trying to install esxi 5 but it keeps crashing during install.  I have attached a screenshot on what the error message says.  I've tried all possible settings of the built in sata settings in bios.

Any suggestions?

Never tried it. You can try to add another disk controller based on any whitebox, such http://ultimatewhitebox.com/

Also, a firmware upgrade of the controller may help. Or try to install an older version of ESX (4.1).
