Systems Hang when Booting in VMkernel Mode After Adding New Host Bus Adapter
Details
Adding a new host bus adapter to ESX Server may cause the system to
hang when booting into vmkernel mode. This is because both the
service console and vmkernel attempt to claim the controller.
Solution
Refer to http://kb.vmware.com/kb/603047 and follow the
recommended steps for PCI card installation and removal on ESX
Server.
