[ofw] Windows Server 2008 (Beta) fails to load x64 mthca.sys ?

Hello,
  Might you be able to diagnose the mthca.sys failure; my previous
understanding from email was that you have been able to load the
openib-windows stack on Windows Server 2008 successfully.

Failure to load is witnessed when installed via WIX (CA: devman.exe) or
by hand via Device Manger install.
WIX installer installs same x64 drivers files on Windows Server 2003
with no problems; WIX or Device Manager?

Windows Server 2008, LongHorn (LH for now), claims a corrupted mthca.sys
driver (code 39) as does the Infiniband Fabric system device. Again,
these same files load successfully on Windows Server 2003.

.cdf files for mthca.inf and ib_bus.inf are in the same folder as the
.inf files for the install.

All files are svn.849.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Stan.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may
be corrupted or
missing. (Code 39).
