After install esxi 3.5.0 in my PowerEdge SC1420 ( tanks to Dave.Mishchenko for the post http://communities.vmware.com/message/1057577 about how to disabling limit cpu id check.)

have a problem in the boot process the system freeze when is "Loading module aacraid_esx30" for a long time.After wait a long time the system continue whit the boot process but

this is stoped, the error reported is "*PANIC: Failed to find HD

Partition*".

check the attachment image whith the screen.

My configuration is:

Machine: Dell Poweredge SC1420

RAM: 4GB

Disk: 3 x ISCII disk in Raid5 using Perc 320/DC

I have a PERC 320/DC supported (see )

the question is in PowerEdge SC1420 i can not use my ESXi whith RAID-5

(provide for my PERC 320/DC).

I try to remove my RAID-5 configuration, replace it with a RAID-0, repeat the instalation proccess and the result is the same.

I try to remove my RAID-5, RAID-0 configuration, create 3 volumes (one per disk), repeat the instalation proccess and the result is the same.

I try to use the procedure to find the PCI ID () and found (see the attach):

03:12.00 RAID bus controller Mass storage controller: Adaptec Adaptec SCSI

Class 0104: 9005:0285

bq.

in this page () talk about "What storage and network devices will ESXi 3.5 recognize?"

and the device is supported

Vender ID	Device ID	Sub-vender ID	Sub-device ID	Device Type	Driver Name	Device Name
9005	0285	1028	0287	storage	aacraid_esx30	Perc 320/DI

someone can tell me that I am wrong?

I try to install a SATA disk for install the esxi in this, the instalation procees work (detect the sata disk and the raid5 ).

when the instalation finish, boot my system, and this work but can not see the Raid5 disk, only can view a datastore1 (part of sata disk) and cannot add a new datastore (from raid).

exist any way to can use my raid ( 3 SCSI disk ) or I lose my this ?
