Hi
At first sorry for my bad English - I hope you will understand me 
I want to build up a small server with multiple OS. I found ESXi and it seems to be the best thing for my project. But it doesn't support my hardware...
My hardware is:
Board: Intel DQ45EK
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 2x3Ghz
RAM: 2x2GB DDR2-800 Transcend JetRAM
Controler: PCI-Express Card with JMicron JMB363 Chip
My knowledge about PCs is very good, but I never used a Hypervisor and I didn't use virtualisation-software often.
Now here are the steps I want to realise - and maybe you can help me a little bit
1) install support for Intel ICH10 - done
2) install ESXi onto HDD - todo
3) add support for the JMB363 - todo
4) add support for LAN - todo
5) install Windows Server 2008 onto ESXi - todo
6) install Openfiler onto ESXi - todo
7) install Windows XP onto ESXi - todo
The first step was easy... I followed this help: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php - but only for my USB-Stick-test-installation. And I had to use an other PCI-ID, for my ICH10-Controler it is 8086:2e16. Now ESXi can find my harddisks.
The Second step: I'll try again tomorrow with my own oem.tgz and put it onto the install CD an install it onto my HDD.
Third Step: That would be the hardest, I think. I have drivers for Windows (2000 - Vista) and Linux (2.4 - 2.6). But I think, it is a lot of work, to get this card running under ESXi, right? PCI-ID is: 197b:2363
Fourth Step: PCI-ID is 8086:10de - but I added 8086:10de 0000:0000 network e1000 to simple.map and an entry to pci.ids and it doesn't work. I get always the IP 0.0.0.0 What's wrong here?
5, 6 and 7: Let's see if the other steps are done.
So maybe here is someone who could understand my bad English and has a tip how I could get something more done.
