ESXi 3.5 -- Intel SR2300 Chassis Server

I have an Intel SR2300 Chassis Server with 4GB of RAM....I am trying to install the 3.5 version of ESXi and it is erroring out. I am running out of ideas as to what could be wrong. Any suggestions? or am I posting my question in a black hole?

Some additional information on the server:

2 Intel Xeon 2.4GHz

82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Adaptec AIC-7902 U320

AAC-RAID

Thanks,

Ashley

More info please.

Where do you see the error, and what is the error? Can you provide a screenshot or a log with said error?

Are you able to load start the install of ESXi?
