Old platform, old hardware , I hope in someone's experience...
I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2950 running ESXi 5.5u3 Dell customized (the latest ESXi supported by that HW)
As some people has reported it working, I'm trying to install a Chelsio N320E 2xSFP+ 10Gb NIC
I have installed correctly the latest driver from Chelsio supporting ESXi 5.X (?)
Once rebooted , ESXi hangs on "loading module cxgb3"
This seems to be a known issue running this card/driver in ESXi 6.0 and newer (not supported), not my case thought.
Any experience in this ?
What can the problem be ?
Would a generic ESXi 5.5u3 (instead of Dell-customized) solve the issue ?
Any help would be very appreciated.
