Hi all
im trying to install ESXi on a HP Compaq DX2450. My sata controller is an Nvidia Nforce430 (MCP61). When the installer runs fails saying "The installation operation.....blablabla". When a take a look on the log, i can see this:
'VmkCtl' warning. Loading module sata_nv failed. Exec of command /sbin/mvkload_mod /mod/sata_nv.o succeded, but returned with non-zero status. 1
Failed to load module 'sata_nv': Invalid argument.
