Vmware ESXI hangs during install on IBM HS21

I have an issue loading ESXi 3.5 on a new IBM HS21 server.

The image loads and then yellow start up screen appears.

It gets to the message "Starting the server" and then hangs. (the bar on the bottom is about 80%)

I have tried just about everything I can think of except replacing the blade.

I disabled the nic cards, pulled memory sticks, swapped slots in the server chassis,

downloaded the image again. Tried both remote and local installs.

I talked with someone with the same server and same config and his install works fine.

His only difference is the BOIS is one ver. older then the one we are using( 1.15)

See attached Image.

Any ideas?
