I'm trying to install ESXi (or ESX) 3.5 on an IBM M3400 M3 with an LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i raid card but running into an issue where I can't get the installation to see any hard drives. I can setup the drives through the raid controller so the bios recognizes them, but when I boot ESXi it says it can't find any hard drives. I've tried loading the drivers on the disc but that doesn't help either.
Is there a way to get 3.5 to see these drives? I know its not "supported" by IBM or VMware but I'd really like to test this upgrade path and this is my only server to do it on.
Thanks for any help!
