FreeBSD 7 and ESXi

[scuba at centroin.com.br]

Hi all,

	I'm facing some problems trying to install a FreeBSD 
7.0-RELEASE-amd64, on a Dell PE 2950III, dual Xeon Quad core, 8GB RAM.
	After (FBSD) boot menu count down, it shows a dump of the CPU 
registers and a message: BTX Halted. No matter what is changed in VM 
setup.
	It does not happen with i386 version.
	Which is the best release to install in this box? Should I go 
ahead with i386?
	
Thank you,

- Marcelo
