Install ESXi on unsupported Hardware (NIC 82578DC)

Hello World,

Recently, I had to install ESXi on unsupported hardware. The installation was intended to be used as test infrastructure and play ground for people with few Vmware knowledge. This was the first time for me that I had to perform the installation on unsupported hardware… I had to “Google” quite a bit in order to come up with a correct setup procedure for these machines.
在不支持的硬件上安装ESXI（网卡NIC 82578DC）
最近，我需要在不支持ESXI的硬件上安装这个应用，安装这个应用是给于那些对虚拟技术不熟悉的人，作为测试机或者平台用的。对于我来说，这是我第一次在不支持这个应用的硬件上安装它。我必须使用google，大量的查阅资料，来应付这些机器的安装。
The following links helped me a lot during my research.

It might be worst checking the vm-help web site because if you are lucky you might find the ready to use drivers you need to perform your installation.

Let’s start this post !
下面的几个链接对我的研究帮助很大。
最坏的打算是查阅VM的帮助网站，因为如果你幸运的话，你会发现如果你想安装就必须准备使用[color=green]驱动/（光盘？）[/color]吧。
准备开始！
ESXi installer and the “famous” vmkctl.hostCtlExecption error message

I had to install Esxi on 2 heavy workstations (not on the HCL). I decided to start the installation immediately and inserted the Esxi 4.1 cdrom. The machine booted from the cdrom and the setup process started normally as depicted in the following screenshots

ESXI的最著名的错误“vmkctl.hostCtlExecption error message”
我准备在2台heavy workstations （叫什么呢？重型工作台？不晓得，嘻嘻，反正不在HCL支持的硬件列表里）。我决定马上开始安装，然后插入Esxi 4.1的CD光盘。机器从CD盘引导后，安装过程开始后是正常的，画面就像下面描述的截图中一样（图片稍后放到附件打包里）。


Step 1 : The Boot menu was loaded and I selected the ESXi Installer option

Step 2 : The installer was initializing normally

Step 3 : After initialization phase, you will be prompted with the following screen. I wanted to perform the installation so I press on “Enter”

Step 4 : Immediately after that, I’ve received the following error message : vmkctl.hostCtlExecption : Unable to load module /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3 : Failure

第一步：启动菜单载入后，我选择了ESXI安装选项；
第二步：安装初始化正常；
第三步:在初始化阶段，页面上会提示你继续。我想要继续安装，所以我按了回车；
第四步：立即，我收到如下提示错误信息：vmkctl.hostCtlExecption : Unable to load module /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmfs3 : Failure

The error message can be confusing because there is a reference to a module not able to load and related to vmfs3. So, people might think that the problem is related to the storage and the hard disks are not recognized on the system. This error message simply means that no recognized network card (or no network card) is present on the system. The problem is that the installer has no drivers for this “unsupported” network card.

As this stage, we need to find the drivers for this network card allowing the setup routine to proceed with the installation.

这个错误信息确实很困扰人，因为它指出：一个组件不能被载入，而且指明了是vmfs3。
那么人们可能会想到问题可能是因为存储介质和硬盘不能被系统识别。但是这个错误信息其实只是简单因为有这个系统不能识别的网卡或者根本没有网卡。问题就是安装包不含有这个不被识别的网卡驱动。
到了这个时候，我们需要给这个网卡找驱动，以便于使安装过程能够继续下去。
What you will need
To perform a successful installation (after identifying your hardware), you will simply need to put together some files,scripts and a bit of luck.

Let’ see what you need….

1.obtain the oem.tgz file with the correct drivers
We first need to find the appropriate oem.tgz file. This file is used by ESXi during the setup process. I was lucky enough to find a ready to use oem.tgz package containing the correct dri
