I need to do a new CentOS net install on a new server having the Supermicro X7DVL-3 motherboard:

So I assume the controller is not supported and I need a binary driver for it. For 1068e it should be:
I received the driver image megasr-13.17.0421.2010-1-rhel50-u5-all.img from the hardware vendor and was able to use it as the driver disk for installation.
Upgrading the kernel issue is still unresolved though:
And what happens if I get the driver installed and then the server's kernel is updated? Do I need reinstall the driver somehow?
After updates the system is unable to boot with the new kernel as it cannot find the megasr driver.
What shoudl I do? Does the megasr module for the old kernel also work with the new kernel => do I need to copy it somewhere and create an initrd image including that module? Or do I need to find an updated megasr module from somewhere?
