I couldn’t get this to work using ESX 5.0.0 and syslinux 4.0.4 using the above method however when I just burnt the ESX iso to a cd it installed fine (so far… its on 10%)

Hi Miles, Can you try from a USB CD drive?

Very well detailed instructions! one issue I am having with an old GB-7007 is changing the boot device.. only the raid and the network card show up; no USB device. Elsewhere in the BIOS it does say all USB are enabled… and I’ve placed a bootable (Ubuntu 32) USB drive in there.. it just doesn’t seem to see it. Any clue? Thanks for the good info on unlocking the bios BTW!
