ESXi 5.0U3 on DL320e G8 v2

[dl320eg8v2]

Hello

Trying to install ESXi 5.0U3 on DL320e G8 v2.

The installer either hangs at "Loading module usb-storage . . .", OR the keyboard stops responding when you're supposed to press Enter to start the installation.


Not sure what to do.

Tried with the latest HP custom ESXI image (september 2014). Tried with one from October 2013. Tried with various boot options. Tried resetting system settings. Latest firmware/BIOS installed.

ESXi 5.1U2/5.5U2 works perfectly but I need 5.0.

Thanks

Hi,

Check the OS Matrix, that server model does not support that OS.
