<br>
If so, what's the good the processor model?<br>
<br>
tried serveral combinatnion of cpu model and ESX 3.5 and 5.1 ( trial version) without success<br>

(1) tried ESX Sever 3i (3.5.0) build-207095 ( with pentinumpro, and other cpu model, even with host CPU configuration)<br>
<br>
it complains: the system has founda problem on your machine and can not continue<br>
<br>
No pages alloed to Noe 0-- big mimatch between BIOS and SRAT memory maps, or MTRR error, or user removed all momory from a Node.<br>
Try checking memory or upgrading BIOS.<br>
<br>

It appears that the other way around, KVM as guest under ESX, is more likely to work, but that doesn't really help in your situation. Assuming your goal is to test ESX, you may have better luck using something like VMware Player as the top-level hypervisor - it works well on Fedora - and installing ESX as the guest in that. <br>
