Still working out a couple of bugs. Occasionally throws ECC errors, but I believe that its because the RAM I am using has litterally been across the country a few times. Onboard sensors do not appear in VMWare, even though they are very comprehensive on this board.
2/3/2012- Reinstalled with ESXi 4.1 u2 and have added the following hardware;
- 2x HP NC7170 Dual port NICs (On VMWare HCL)
- 1x HP P400 RAID Card (On VMWare HCL)
Booting from CF instead of USB, boot times are much quicker now. Currently do not have the Pro 100 working.
