Question : How do I install VMWare ESXI 3.5 on a Adaptec 5405?

I have an Adaptec 5405 with 4x1 TB drives. I've created a RAID 5 array with all 4 drives. I booted with ESXi 3.5 and installed it. After installing, when I rebooted I got the following error:
PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Reboot and Select proper Boot device.  .
It's a brand new card and all of the Sata HD's work.

You need to limit your LUN size to just under 2TB (2TB - 512 bytes to be precise). You may want to recreate your array to be within that limit.

Good Luck
