Hi folks,

This one is driving me nuts and I would appreciate some help.

I am building a new VMWare VSphere environment, or I would like to if I can get past the first and most basic task of installing the ESXi hypervisor onto the SD card or USB stick.

I bought a 'diskless' pair of DL380G8's with 96GB of memory.

I have downloaded the HP customised ESXI build ISO VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-Update2-2068190-HP-5.76.36-Sep2014.iso and burned it onto a bootable CD. Basically I never get past the point of loading the installer beyond the PSOD where is reports 'no place on disk to dump data'

I appear to be able to 'see' the SD card reported as present in ILO

I have tried * and 16GB USB drives to no effect.

SATA is set to legacy (not AHCI) in BIOS.

Disks formatted as FAT32

Any ideas?

thanks as always in advance...

cheers

Graham
