ESXi 3.5 not booting up after powercut - stuck on Starting Config script - Loading module IDE

We've got a ESXi 3.5 installed on a HP ML110 which will not complete reboot after a powercut.

It stays stuck on the starting config script screen (loading module IDE).

The datastore contains 3 VMs in store on the same HDD as the ESXi portion.

What is the best way to troubleshoot this ? Is there any repair procedure ?

Would a reinstall of ESXi leave the VMs intact ?

Would they need to be redefined ?

Please help, this is the first time we have to troubleshoot such an issue.
