After reading you had gotten ESXi working with the X7DVL-E motherboard I went back and carefully reviewed the wide variety of choices available within the X7DVL-E bios. ESXi finally recognized the Sata drives, loaded and BOOTED after configuring the BIOS for Enhanced SATA support with both Raid support and AHCI support disabled. During the process we re-confirmed the free ESXi download doesn't support the hardware RAID features. Changing the subject I've also just learned that as of April 1, 2009, the full blown enterprise version of XenServer is available free for download from Citrix. More later, right now, I've got a new VM host to add to my lab!
