Anyone had any luck with ESXi on P35-DS4

Hi,

Has anybody had any luck with ESXi on a Gigabyte P35-DS4?

It boots the disc, but after I go to install it'll just bring up a load of random unhelpful errors.

Unfortunately the motherboard isn't in the compatibility list, but I'm hoping someone has tried & had some luck!

Thanks.

Specs: Gigabyte P35-DS4, 4x 2GB OCZ 8500, Q9550, a few standard HDs

Everything is on-board - SATA controller, network, etc.

I've tried installing it without firewire, network, sound etc. but am still getting the same problem.

Unfortunately simply disabling the on-board network card doesn't help. I'm going to go for the full reset & disable everything on-board this weekend and see what happens!
