Problem while connecting 2xDell PowerConnect 5448 with VLANS

Hello

I have a big problem with my network infrastructure. I have 16 Esxi 5.0 hosts that are connected to 2x Dell PowerConnect 5448 switches. All VM's are connected to Distributed Switches with multiple Port Groups. Every VDS Port Groups are adding VLAN ID to all frames that are sent to physical switches. VMs that are connected to the same physical switch are able to communicate but when they are connected to different switches the connection is lost :(

LAG 1 is connected as  Trunk in Port Mode with GVRP disabled and admitAll frame type. Also this port is a member in: VLAN 1(Untagged System) and VLANS from 100-200 (Tagged Static)

Ports that are connected to Vmware Distributed Switches are configured with General Mode,  GVRP disabled,  admitAll frame type and they are member of VLANS 100-200 (Tagged Static). Nativ VLAN: 234.

Can anyone help me. Maybe im doing something wrong?

It's me again. 

Right now  I changed my configuration and I plug all vDS with Trunks to only one switch. It's working but i have no redundancy :(

This is the output from show run command from 2 switches (I erased IP addresses and username data):

Hello again!
I already tried this few days ago but with no effect.
console(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
console(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan all

Today I downloaded and upgraded firmware version. After short reboot I tried to use those commands again and at this time everything seems to be working properly.

Thank you very much for your help!
