You'll need to make certain that the hardware you have is supported by
the ESX hypervisor. You need some pretty contemporary kit for it. I'm
running that version on my ML350G5, but it won't run on my G3.
The installation and basic configuration is so simple that anyone that's
installed XP can do it. Basically, you boot from the CD and give the
machine a hostname and IP address.
What I think would be good to demo is how we setup an Endian box (or any
other firewall distro for that matter) on an ESX server. I've done this
many times in my lab and would be willing to create a demo. I'll try to
get a video together and uploaded to youtube. It won't be until
Thursday morning at the earliest. Sound good?

Mike, are you referring to the VMWare ESXi3? I would love to see your
demo/howto to set it up. Just got myself an old machine that I can use.

I'd be willing to give a quick demo on this. It's truely amazingly easy
to setup.

I'm considering virtualization as the next step for our infrastructure,
and ESXi3 looks like the way to go. I would love to see how it working,
but couldn't get a test server yet for that.

Thanks Mike. I like the way you put it. :P .... But I have no
experience running VMWare and I'm not confident that I could get it to
work without any hitch. Anyway, I am now more inclined towards swapping
the box with the MySQL server.

I'd go the VMWare ESX3i way if I were in your shoes.
It's an amazing platform that will allow you to use more of the obscene
power of that box. Running Endian on it is a little like using an F-350
Super Duty as a commuter car.

hahaha .... Thanks for that, mike. Though I agree with
most of the suggestions posted so far, the fact is that I am now stuck
with this server. Unfortunately, the company have put their trust on me
to get this to work.
If there is no other way for me to get Endian 2.2 RC3 to
work on this server, I might suggest swapping the server with the MySQL
server, which is running on a Dell PowerEdge 850 (same machine as the
current working Endian Firewall 2.1).
So far, the replies I received are alternatives rather
than a fix.
1) Disable hardware RAID and use software RAID if that
work
2) Use VMWare/Xenware
Looking at the dump, I think Mike is correct to say that
the mptsas module is the cause but then I am no expert. Anyway, unless
someone has any valid solution to actually fix this, I will follow the
majority of the ppl and agree that its simply not possible to install
Endian 2.2 RC3 on this server. Thanks to everyone who posted their
opinions/suggestions.

Software Raid setup is in the install Wizard so it's not
that bad.
