I have been evaluating Microsoft's Virtual Server for a few weeks, and now I'm looking into VMWare ESX 3.0 because we are considering moving to a more virtualized environment at our company. I have an ESX eval copy, and I am trying to install it on some old test hardware that I have laying around just so that I can get a feel for how it works (especially compared to the MS solution). However, I am unable to find storage drivers for a Promise TX2300 RAID controller. Since you generally wouldn't run ESX on something so lightweight, I wasn't suprised that Promise didn't have any drivers for it. However, I thought that since ESX is running on some sort of Linux base that I might be able to put something together with Linux drivers. Does anyone know a good place to find drivers that work with VMWare ESX, or how they differ from more general Linux drivers?

Jeff is right, search the forums, many people have had this kind of issue, and sometimes there are fixes/workarounds, sometimes not.
Good luck,
