I ended up buying a used perc 5i off ebay and putting it in a precision
390 and it's worked great for months until yesterday when for some
reason every time I stress my guest ESX locks up and I have to power
cycle the box.  ESX only works with certain raid cards and there is a
FAQ on there web site that lists them.

Subject: VMware ESXi 3.5 On Dell 2550

I have an old Dell PE 2550 that has a PERC 3D/I RAID controller. I've
loaded up VMware ESXi 3.5 onto the server. However when I try to create
a VM for RHEL 4, the installation always fails say that it can't find
any disks on which to install the O/S. I'm assuming this has to do with
the RAID controller?
Has anyone
successfully deployed RHEL 4 in this configuration or could someone
point me in the right direction?


TIA.
