I am trying to run ESXi on a lab box. I was not able to install 5.5 (purple screen of death during install), but was able to install 5.1. Now, in the vSphere client when I configure any VM to boot from an ISO (I've tried Win XP and CentOS Linux) I get;
VMware ESX unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED vmcore/vmm/cpu/fpu.c:452
The ESXi box has an AMD A4 CPU. The ISOs are uploaded in the datastore. My client machine has VMWare Workstation 9 on it and that works fine (probably irrelevant, but just mentioning in case there is some conflict).
Any ideas? I wasn't coming up with much via google. Is this saying there is some sort of issue with FPU virtualization and the A4 and/or chipset on the box? AS far as I can tell, the A4 supports AMD's virtualization technologies.
