I installed ESXi on a server. Now I am trying to install any distro of linux on a 15GB partition I setup for it. I've gone through the bios and disabled RAID and set IDE to compatible... still no go... attached is an image just illustrating my stuck point. Any advice would be excellent - I can install windows on any partition I create no problem. I'm guessing it's either the BIOS or ESXi configuration... Anyone?
Oh, and if I click on that button in the middle 'Advanced storage configuration' - the installation craps out. I've tried this with various linux distros and come across the same no HDD detect. Google hasn't helped much on this one.
