SOLVED! Issues with the X10SL7-F and ESXi 6.0:
=====================================
1) Do not use vmnic0 (The left NIC if looking at the motherboard from the rear faceplate). vmnic1 is A-OK. Yes, I know they're both i210ATs. I don't know what the difference is, but ESXi hates the left one on one of my two motherboards!
2) Do not use USB thumbdrives to install ESXi on. The SAS ports work.
=====================================
Every 30 seconds, ESXi 6 GA locks up on me for a full ten seconds. Any commands issued via the thick client during this time will not reach the server. If SSH'd in, any keystrokes sent will wait the full ten seconds before showing up on the screen. There are no log entries which appear to correspond to the lockup times.
Now here's the REALLY weird part. If you SSH in and run esxtop, the other SSH session will only lock up for two seconds - And those are at random.
Hardware:
X10SL7-F
16GB USB thumbdrive
ESXi 6.0 GA
16GB (4x4) Kingston ECC memory
E3-1220v3
No VMs. Not connected to a vCenter Server. This is fresh-off-the-install, right after the initial reboot.
edit: This is happening on TWO (identical except for RAM) systems!
