I use 3 times 1TB in RAID5 as one volume. So boot ESXi and store is also on the RAID.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post or not...

I'm having issues with this MB and ESXi 4.0 U1. I will move BIOS to 0803 to be consistent and try again. I'll also try previous build of ESXi 4.0. As per post under install section, I'm getting PSOD right after INSTALL.TGZ is called.

For anyone else having this problem the solution is documented here - viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2215&p=7001&hilit=PSOD#p7001.
