2nd attempt w/ limited success.
I've now gone back to the Bios and put the SATA Control Mode back to -
"Compatible" mode and left the 2ndary setting to "Serial ATA" mode as
opposed to "Auto".
This allows the ESXi server to boot up correctly.
When launching VMWare Infrastructure Client and pointing to my ESXi
Supermicro box, I get into the Host ok, but the host reports that there
is no persistent datastore.
Next, In the Host screen I navigate to (Configuration > Storage >
Add Storage...) the wizard starts correctly but doesn't see my storage
device (looking for 1tb samsung).
So, then i try the add a new datastore wizard navigating to
(Configuration > "Click here to create a datastore" ) - noting!!! No datastore available. crap.
next, i'm going to set the 2ndary function to "Auto" instead of "Serial ATA" mode and see if that works.
