Re: ESX on KVM requirements

Maybe my first announcement of it working was a bit premature.  ESX is
indeed running on KVM, but is somewhat useless as I can't seem to add
a datastore (where ESX puts the virtual machine disks).  I tried
adding a SCSI drive with "-drive file=datastore.img,if=scsi" but to no
avail.  It seems that ESX doesn't have the drivers for the type of
SCSI drive that KVM emulates.

To Alexander Graf: Is there anything special you did when you got
ReactOS running on ESX?
To everyone else: I've never used SCSI drives before (qemu or
otherwise), is there anything more I have to do than creating a
rawdisk image and using the command shown above?

Thanks,

Ben
