Strange work Adaptec 6805 RAID controller

Our company purchased the Adaptec 6805. At the site of the manufacturer announced its compatibility with ESXi 5. When you first install the disk used by VMware-ESXi-5.0.0-Driver-Rollup-20110921. All passed successfully, when you install ESXi see raid array and perfectly installed, after a reboot through VSphere Client, datastore can be visible and you can start work.

Any attempt to update the driver on the latest from the manufacturer leads to dropouts datastore after boot ESXi. But the boot is successful.

Different assemblies, such as VMWARE-ESXi-5.0.0-Rollup-20111216, just do not see the raid array. VMWARE-ESXi-5 U1, sees the array and updates the system, but after rebooting again datastore disappears.

Really wanted be updated, so I had to pull out the old SCSI-AAC.V00 from the assembly VMware-ESXi-5.0.0-Driver-Rollup-20110921 and replace it with a pack U1.

I understand that this is not the right solution, but what to do in my case?
