After that appears, it just hangs. I have downloaded the ESXi twice, but still no luck. Any suggestions? Jonathan, Thanks for this nice article. So far I tried ESXi 5. Also look out for Dell specific ESXi drivers for version 5. I am installing on a Cisco c M2, and have a netwok cable connected M1 port going to a Switch.
