thanks , looks promising ... i'll have a look in the morning . good looking out !
Did you use an enlight modified ISO for your base image?
Thanks all , that was indeed the problem .
"Turns out it was indeed the driver. Using the WHQL 1.20.18.00 worked like a charm. Even tho, I'm running esxi 4.1, I guess you can't use the 1.28.03 driver."
This was a huge pain , really appreciate the assist.
Cheers.
