Hello,
Let's start VMware is completly new to me, however I'm very interested and learning is always good!
Here's my config:
Dell Poweredge 2400
Dual pentium III 866
2 Gb ram
5x U160 10000 seagate 36GB
Mylex Extreme raid 2000 controller
Iwant to install Vmware esx 3.0 however just after the installation Vm asks for a driver, however the device for which the driver is needed isn't mentioned. I looked up that my mylex controller isn't supported.
Is there a way around this driver problem? I read that you can compile a driver from a linux driver. So I already downloaded these drivers and now I'm thinking what should I do?
I'm completly new to linux/vmware

Your best bet would be to get you hands on a Raid Controller supported on the HCL.
Hello,
Check out http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_io_guide.pdf. THe only supported mylex is the Accelraid 352. Only those devices on the HCL are truly supported. I would not use anything not there.
Best regards,
Edward
