[elrepo] 3w-9xxxx missing from ramdisk in 8.2

[Gerwin Krist]

Hi Akemi,

Thanks for taking time answering my question!

Well I just downgraded the kernel to the GA kernel:

[EL8/INT] [root at xxxxxxxx boot]$] rpm -qa | grep 4.18.0-193.el8
kernel-modules-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64
kernel-core-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64
kernel-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64

And installed the kmod package. But "lsinitrd
initramfs-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64.img | grep 3w" still does not return
anything :-(

So I did: dracut -f --add-drivers 3w-9xxx
/boot/initramfs-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64.img 4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64 and this
gives me:

[EL8/INT] [root at xxxxxxx boot]$] lsinitrd
initramfs-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64.img | grep 3w
Arguments: -f --add-drivers '3w-9xxx'
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Feb 28  2020
usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64/extra/3w-9xxx
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        80121 Feb 28  2020
usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64/extra/3w-9xxx/3w-9xxx.ko

Could you elaborate, what the normal procedure would be to upgrade to a new
major release? Is it required to goto the GA kernel first and then upgrade
to the latest kernel? I could not find any information about it.

Best wishes,
Gerwin
