"not supported" and "does not work" are not the same thing.  ESXI
emulates specific hardware.  Most kernels will work with old hardware,
so they should work with old ESXI, though there may need to be some
configuration changes and there's always the possibility of bugs in
ESXI that weren't detected by older kernels.  But the question here
was *Asterisk*, not kernels.  User-level code has *way* fewer
dependencies.
