I see the following crash several times a day and annoying popups from macOS that SoftRAIDTool has crashed.
I do not see this problem listed on your Known Issues page or mentioned anywhere else in the forums, but maybe I'm blind. I'm pretty sure you're already aware of this issue.

We just sent out a critical update about this, we do know about it and it is being worked on. I am hoping 6.0.4, soon.
I am also seeing this, plus it apparently makes it impossible to enter recovery mode (ie boot with CMD+R), at least on an iMac Pro on MacOS 11.3.1.
I used the SoftRaid 6.0.3 Utility>Remove option, which supposedly removes all kernel extensions, but it still happens.
If I try to boot into recovery mode, it goes into an infinite boot loop until I release CMD+R. Then it apparently has a kernel panic on startup, and after MacOS eventually loads it puts up the error "Panic Medic Boot..A third party kernel extension was preventing the machine from successfully booting. All third party kernel extensions have been disabled..."
However despite that if I try to enter recovery mode it still goes into the loop, then after finally reaching the desktop, Console>Crash Reports shows a segmentation fault in SoftRAIDTool each time. How do I fully remove or disable SoftRAID from my machine?
I think you are running into a Big Sur bug where it is keeping old extensions loading.
Can you send an email to support at softRAID? I want to give you a debug version of the app to try to collect some debug information. thanks
