I am attempting to install Vista Business on a heavily upgraded HP x4000
workstation.

The Upgrade Advisor stated that my Ethernet Card and RAID device support
status were unkown. I have Vista drivers for the RAID device and used them
during the install process to access the target drive. The Ethernet Card I
have tried disabling in bios, and I still BSOD during install.

When Finishing the installation, and I got a STOP 0x000000EA BSOD.

This is caused by a device driver, and safe mode gets me to the point where
it says that it cannot finish the install in safe mode, then it reboots.

Is there a way to pinpoint which device driver is the culprit?

Or any way I can get this to install without dark rituals and other vood

Turned out that Vista did NOT like my Radeon X1600 Card, replacing it with an
ancient Creative Graphics Blaster worked well.
