Hello,

I'm currently trying to install VMware ESXi 4 on my server. Problem is with Raid Controller LSI Megaraid SAS 1078 that is not visible by installer. Problem also occured when I tried to run any Linux Live CD. I managed to boot CentOS 5 installer after passing 'irqpoll' parameter to kernel and this solved problem, but I want to install VMware ESXi. In ESXi installer I got an error message:

"Unable to find a supported device to write the VMware ESXi 4.0.0 image to."

Manufacturer: Intel Corporation

Model: S5520UR

Is there any way to pass irqpoll to kernel, or any other solution to install VMware ESXi on my server?

Thank for reply.

Cris.

There is just one community for ESXi, no problem at all.

Have a look on this section of Dave's site, but also generally on his site about known issues with specific mainboard and storage controllers.
