RC2 hangs installing Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA R

[Guest]

My company is testing Windows Vista RC2 and we have Silicon Image SiI 0680
Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Controllers in our computers.

I have tried the following and in both instances they hang the computers :

(1) Install Vista RC2, Loading Raid Drivers before install. Vista Setup
hangs at loading screen.

(2) Install Vista RC2, then in device manager, select Raid Controller and
point to location of drivers. Raid Controller installs, then system hangs.
Restarting Vista it hangs at loading screen.

Note : I am using the drivers listed on the following website ->

I suppose you are using the 64 bit version of Vista? That page also says it
supports Vista Beta 2, so technically they don't say it supports later
versions. You might try RC1 to see if it works any better, some of my
devices did.

Did you check the bios to make sure it was up to date?

Just an observation, but it does seem Vista has some problems with some RAID
setups.
