Possible issues installing ESXi 5.0.0 on a B22 M3

[Brent Rockburn]

I have booted from the esx disk and in the process of installing the software. It's asked me for the root password and when it goes to do the system Scan I get this error

<VALIDATE_HOST_HW ERROR: Vendor VIB for Hewlett-Packard Company found, but host is Cisco Systems Inc>

I've checked the compatibility matrix and I should be able to make this into a exsi 5.0.0 host, has anyone seen this?

I'm not sure if I read the matirx wrong .. or what.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

BR

Which ISO are you using?  We would expect using the Cisco OEM image
