Help. I am pulling my hair out on this one.
I have a new system that I am installing Server 2008 Standard (x64) on. It has an ATI SB750 chipset that includes a RAID controller. During setup I use the Load Driver process to select the drivers which are on a floppy, let setup read the floppy and show me the 3rd party hardware it found, which is all as per the usual, and then I click Next. At that point Setup returns an error message and will not let me continue... which is not as per the usual.
The message Setup returns is, "To continue the installation, use Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable Windows installation."
The drivers themselves work fine and I have them installed in another machine which I setup first (same OS), and added RAID after the fact. So I have not needed to load the driver during setup until today.
I have tried three generations of the 64-bit ATI RAID driver so far. But none are acceptable according to windows setup because setup is apparently not recognizing the fact that the drivers are signed by a valid CA.
Question # 1: Has anyone seen this happen before?
Question # 2: Could it be possible that the setup program is lacking the root CA cert for the code-signing CA Verisign uses?
Here are sample pics of the cert chains for two of the generations of 64-bit drivers... anyone see anything amiss?
(Pic #1) and (Pic # 2)
Question # 3: In an attempt to get around this issue, I decided to try using the 32-bit driver during setup. Call it a whim. Setup then mounted the drive and let me partition it, etc... and now it's doing its thing. What I'm wondering is, will it be possible to substitute the proper, 64-bit driver after setup completes and I'm allowed into the OS? Or, will doing so (either by Update driver, or by removing the hardware and then searching for new hardware and pointing to the 64-bit files) lead me to a big old BSOD?
