ML370 Installation problem

Hi

I'm trying to install VMware ESX Server 3i U2 Version 3.5 Update 2 | 110271 - 08/13/08 on a new HP ML370 G5 with this setup:

2 Quad-Core Xeon E5430 2,66 GHz

14 Gb RAM (2x1GB + 6x2GB)

HP Smart Array P400/256MB

5st x 146 GB SAS HDD, Raid 5, 1 logical drive

Latest firmware for both server and raidcontroller.

The cd with the installation-image boots ok and the ESXi installation starts. But after the part with "Loading VWware ISO" the installation fails and I get the "purple screen of death" with a lot of data and the message "No place on disk to dump data". All hardware is on the HCL as far as I can see and I've run the HP diganostic test for all the hardware for a long time without any problems.

Please help! I really need this system up and running tomorrow!

Regards

Mattias

Thank you, yes I´ve already checked this.

This option is not avaliable in the BIOS:1. System Options > OS Selection: Select Windows 2000.

This option was already correct as default: 2. Advanced Options > MPS Table Mode: Select Full Table APIC.

I've also turned off all unnecessary components to free interrupts.
