Installing it on 2 SATA hard drives in a hardware mirror. Just recently I've started having problems with 1 of the 2 servers and the V/M are unresponsive and when I try to use the VSphere client to manage the V/Ms then the client becomes unresposive but I can still ping the host. I have to force a shutdown & restart then the V/M run fine for about 24hr before it starts over again. I’ve been running ESXi 4 64bit on 2 Dell t105s for about 9 months now with out any problems.

Install works now but on reboot after install system hangs on sata_nv. I just tried installing ESXi 4 on a base T105 (after having the same problems as others with 3.5).

No problems so far. Waiting to update my environment however. Two reasons: 1. Licenses 2. Compatibility with application suites like View and Lab Manager The fun of using a usb-stick is that you can easily switch between versions (not live of course and given you've seperate storage available for both environments).
