Beast 0 · ID: 1 Posted August 25, 2015 I installed ESKi 6 on a USB for my HP Proliant Microserver G8. The install successfully completed but the Microserver won't boot up from the USB with ESKi installation. I made sure the first boot device is USB but still no luck. Any idea why?

koroziv 7 · ID: 4 Posted August 26, 2015 I also used a custom hp image, so you might have the same issue, solved as described in that link If you have a gen8 microserver here is a forum with a lot of useful info : http://homeservershow.com/forums/index. ... -ms-gen-8/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beast 0 · ID: 5 Posted August 26, 2015 I can confirm that your suggestion fixed my problem but I have a new one. During the install ESXi does not recognize any of my hard drives. Only the USB drives. I guess I need to include the drivers for the hard drives? Edit: it turns out that I needed to modify bios setting to enable legacy support for my hard drives.
