This Q35 desktop board was "known good" back in the ESX4 days. Has anyone gotten ESX 5.5 up and running on it? I'm tinkering with it now and no luck so far. Installer is hanging at "vmkibft loading..."

Fixed. The disks were recycled from a SAN. Something on there was confusing ESXi. A "diskpart clean" wasn't enough -- I had to long format the disks. This board seems to work fine with 5.5 -- No driver injection necessary.
