Signed Driver not Recognized by 64-Bit Server 2008

Question

I'm attempting to install English Server 2008 Standard x64 on a PowerEdge 850 using the May 2008 MSDN Disc 4454, but the install does not recognize that the 64-bit driver for the Adaptec CERC controller is signed.However, if I install the Japanese Server 2008 Standard x64 from the May 2008 MSDN Disc 4461 it works fine and detects the drive.I've downloaded the driver set from both the English and Japanese Dell websites, and they are identical. I've also confirmed that the cercsr6.sys file is signed with a valid certificate issued to Adaptec from Verisign with an expiry date of 2010/02/07.I can install the 32-bit Server 2008 using the 32-bit driver from the Dell website, but since I want to evaluate using Hyper-V to virtualize our development environment, I need 64-bit Server 2008. Can anyone else had this problem, and did they resolve it?

Just download the latest MSDN ISO and it should work just fine I would think (works for me, but I don't use any CERCs, so it might be something with that driver).
