(for 10.4R similar just with a different address). SCSI Adapatr for the VM is set to LSI Logic (but I've tried with the other available options with the same result). VMWare docs list both 10 and 11 as being compatible with this version of ESXi. Any pointers to get through this will be greatly appreciated, I didn't found anything on the net, and I need a sane system to play with when I'm getting tired of the ton of Linux distros I'm forced to use.
