ESXi 5.0 and Adaptec 3805 RAID card PCI pass through to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi, I am trying to pass through an Adaptec 3805 card installed in the  host to a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM.  Windows Server sees the card, but  when I tried to install drivers for it, I get a Code 10 error: This  device cannot start.  The card works on a regular (non-VM) Windows 2008  R2 box.  My system is an Intel S5520HCT server board with 2 E5607 CPU's and 48 GB of RAM.  There are no other addin/PCI cards installed.


Does anyone know how to fix this? 


Thanks!  Hammer8
