Title Description http://www.twinsquared.ch/ Sun, 20 May 2012 16:19:16 GMT http://www.twinsquared.ch/frontend/images/logo.png Title http://www.twinsquared.ch/ Logo VMware ESXi 5.0 on ASRock ION 330 http://www.twinsquared.ch/bcyrill/blog/article/17#post VMware ESXi 5.0 has recently been released. Since the NVIDIA MCP79 chipset is not officially supported one has to create a custom installer to install / upgrade ESXi 5.0 on the ASRock ION 330 system. Using ESXi Customizer it will only take a few minutes to customize the official installer. To support AHCI you can use my custom oem.tgz.

After the installation the hard drive may not yet be available since the wrong configuration is loaded during boot. To override the configuration the following additional steps have to be taken:

  1. Use vSphere client to login to the ESXi 5.0 server, enable SSH access & connect to it.
  2. Manually load the AHCI driver with the command:
    "vmkload_mod /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/ahci"
  3. In the subfolders of the /vmfs/volumes folder locate the boot.cfg files (there may be several).
  4. Modify those boot.cfg files and change the order when the OEM-00.t00 module is loaded, placing it right before imgdb.tgz.
  5. Reboot the host system.

Notes:
• Make sure to change the SATA Mode to AHCI in the BIOS.
• ESXi 5.0 requires at least 2GB of memory. For the ASRock ION 330 system this means that reducing the amount of shared video memory does not help anymore. Instead you will have to upgrade the memory to > 2GB.

The ASRock ION 330 has a NVIDIA MCP79 chipset which is not officially supported by VMware's ESXi 4.1. However you can modify the AHCI driver and create a custom installer using mkesxiaio. If you do not want to modify the driver yourself you can get my pre-modified one here. Just make sure to switch to AHCI mode in the BIOS.

Also by default the ION 330 has only 2GB of memory that is shared with the integrated graphics solution. Thus, to use the system with the pre-installed memory only, the amount of shared video memory has to be reduced in the BIOS to 32MB.]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 01:33:39 GMT http://www.twinsquared.ch/bcyrill/blog/article/16#post HowTo: Latex Stack http://www.twinsquared.ch/bcyrill/blog/article/15#post Darstellen eines Stacks in Latex.]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:19:52 GMT http://www.twinsquared.ch/bcyrill/blog/article/15#post Approximation der Fehlerfunktion für den Ti-89 http://www.twinsquared.ch/bcyrill/blog/article/14#post Approximation der Fehlerfunktion sowie der komplementären Fehlerfunktion für den Ti-89.
