3rd Attempt -

I've now gone back to the Bios and put the SATA Control Mode back to -

"Compatible" mode and changed the 2ndary setting to "Auto" mode from the default - "Serial ATA".

This time, the ESXi boot process does run but the bios seems to be running a ton of different code as it taks about 3 minutes of blank screen before anything happens.

When ESXi comes up and i connect to the host via Vmware Infrastructure Client, I still cannot add the datastore.

I've already been to the vmhelp.org site as well as the ultimatewhitebox web site but i haven't seen any postings on this particular motherboard there. so i'm posting here as well just in case...

Has anyone else out there been able to get this motherboard to work using the onboard intel sata controller? it seems like it should work as it did work the first time I loaded the HD.
