Installing ESX server 3.0.2 on HP ProLiant ML 110

Hi...
I tried to install ESX server 3.0.2 on HP ProLiant ML 110, but, only what I got is this error message: No Drives Found: An error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.

I tried with SATA and SATA RAID settings, but with no success.
Any idea, or solution?

ESX is fairly strict in it's hw requirements and it doesn't support many SATA disk controllers. Those SATA controllers supported are typically controllers that can also control SAS drives.

Please have a look at the HCL:

I've got three ML110's and a ML115 (the AMD variant) ESX will NOT install and run :( as pointed out above the crontroller is not going to work :(
Your best be is to put ESX on somehting esle and use that box for iSCSI storage :)
