Trouble Installing ESX4i / ESX4 onto HP BL280c

Hello-

I have a new HP BL280c server that I am trying to load ESX4i / ESX4 onto. The server shows supported on the HCL however it will not install.

When I attempt to load ESX4i onto the box I get a "failed to load lvmdriver"

When I try to install ESX4 it tries to boot from the DVD and it will not start to load the ESX installation. I have tried another DVD and tried downloading the ISO twice.

Any help would be appreicated.

The little numbers after the supported versions are important. The lvmdriver is network. You must follow the directions on the link below to install on the bl280c
