    RC2 hangs with Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid

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

    The Windows Vista Upgrade advisor states that 'No Action is required' for my
    Raid Controller.

    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 use exactly the same controller and exactly the same drivers
    the only thing I can think of right away is to check the BIOS version
    of the controller card
    with me it is 3."something"
    I believe it is a requirement for the newest drivers
