Hi,
I'm upgrading some of our older blades (bl460c G8 and G9's passed without a hitch) to esxi5.5, but the installer keeps crashing.
I've been trying every update of the 5.1 and 5.5 customised HP images, to no avail.
Installer seems to launch, but then PSOD's as soon as the network drivers load (that's what I concluded). I applied the latest Proliant service pack (2015.10.0), so firmwares are as up to date as can be (interesting note: with the older 2011 firmware the host installed successfully, but network was unusable)
Some 5.5u3 (hp cust) screens:
Here the installer stops loading:
And then it psod's:
Any suggestion or other resource I could give a try (Tried some vanilla esxi iso's as well, didn't help) ? I'd really like these ones to join the main cluster, a RAM upgrade and they could be running smoothly for another couple of years.
