Just have a look at the unofficial white list of components posted in my blog for a list of compatible NIC's.<br /><br />Hope that helps<br /><br />DuncsDuncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134700830240982976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925752970520996999.post-83508310483524685742010-02-03T00:04:47.242+00:002010-02-03T00:04:47.242+00:00Hi Duncan,

I just realized that both 1Gbps network adapters that come along with the board GA EX-58 UD5 are not recognized by the ESXi 4. I hope it will work with Intel's NIC I will buy tomorow morning. Did you manage to make the built in network adapters work with ESXi in the meanwhile?<br />Thanks,<br />AharonHarleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824386074435706813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925752970520996999.post-65076025447103801172009-10-16T02:01:13.189+01:002009-10-16T02:01:13.189+01:00Duncan,

I'm looking at building a whitebox and am considering using the ex58-ud5 motherboard as well.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />LukeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000063368225727888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925752970520996999.post-39597781866331932962009-06-25T00:07:06.541+01:002009-06-25T00:07:06.541+01:00Hi Duncan,

Have you tried that combo?<br /><br />Next is to install Oracle's Enterprise Linux in a Virtual Machine and of course followed by Oracle 10g and/or 11g.<br /><br />I am running into an issue at the third Question: What type of media contains the packages to be installed? I am of course installing from a bootable CD. Selecting OK prompt me with: No drive found. Choosing "use a drive disk" gets me no where and neither does any of the obvious one from the default selection list.<br /><br />Any pointers?<br /><br />Thanks....<br />MohsinMoona Malaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507715184411645636noreply@blogger.com
