<br>
There is no special procedure to update - things should just work.<br>
<br>
Are you booting from the device (I assume yes)?<br>
<br>
I think you've done exactly the right thing - keep an eye to ensure the <br>
driver is in your initramfs image, and if not you can manually rebuild <br>
the initramfs image to include the driver. I have no idea at this point <br>
why the driver wasn't included.<br>
<br>
You may want to check out the manpage for dracut.conf, and maybe <br>
consider forcing driver inclusion for the initramfs in a conf file.<br>
<br>
Consider something like:<br>
<br>
cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/3w-sas.conf<br>
<br>
add_drivers+=" 3w-9xxx "<br>
<br>
Note the spaces around the double quotes. That should ensure the driver <br>
is always included in the initramfs whenever it is recreated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
