How to install VMWare Hypervisor 5.0 on HP proliant ML110 G7

On the ML110 G7 you get the purple screen of death when you try to install Vm 5.0. The ML110 G7 is not on the VM supported hardware list but itcan be easily installed. You just need to make a simple change on the BIOS to allow the install to work successfully.

Enter BIOS

HP Power Profile: Custom
HP Power Regulator: OS Control Mode
Advanced Power Management Options \ Minimum Processor Idle Power State: C6 States

Just changing the No C-States to the C6 States will allow you to install and run ESXi 5.0 on the HP ML110 G7.
