If you have Veeam, give them a call there techs are top notch!
some things i would check
Did i have specific hardware on other host, like Pass-Thru, hard drive or modem?
Is there enough space to expand about 10% for esxi to startup?
is the RAM allocation changed? did i start with 10 and reduce to 6?
VM hardware version the same or higher then the host requirements?
make sure if you were running ESXi 5.1.1 that i atleast use that version to restore into?
Take a deep breath and think my friend. ill monitor and try to help!

The original had 504MB CPUs 2 and BusLogic Parallel. So everything is the same other then yes the hardware changed.

try another image if you have one to ensure its not a bad image.
Are you restoring on the fly or disk to disk with proxy?
