Hi,
I try to get a Qlogic ISP2422 based PCI-X card running in a ESXi 5.1.0.
I already flashed the newest firmware onto the card and also installed the special ESX bundle with the drivers (qla2xxx-934.5.4.0-855364-ESX5.zip).
But when the driver wants to load, I get the following messages in the log:
2012-12-06T19:29:53.163Z cpu3:4865)module heap: using memType 2

Obviously, the HBA won't show up this way. Does anybody know, where this firmware should be located or has/had similar problems?
Thanks, Patrick
