So now that VMware has released a free version of ESXi, has anyone had any luck getting it to run natively on any laptops? For example, Dell D6xx or D8xx series? And, no, I’m not talking about running ESXi inside a VM within VMware Workstation.
Update: So apparently ESXi can’t seem to detect IDE-based laptop harddrives, but it can boot directly off USB. Here’s the link which explains how to boot ESXi off USB.
