If you're upgrading a firmware that changes the driver requirements, you would need to then rebuild the existing initramfs with the updated driver. This is expected behavior.

+Hi Jim,

Hi Jim, it appears that this is not an issue, but just the way initramfs is created such that only the required drivers are installed. We thought that dracut "hostonly" is not the default?
Our issue is only when we upgrade BIOS (requiring new SATA driver) and boot over an existing installation with the old SATA driver. A fresh installation is of no issue.
