Hello, I have a problem with drivers. I believe it is a general topic for Linux administrator. I managed it to install Centos4 with driver disk for my RAID controller. Unfortunately after "yum update" my kernel is updated and I see some warnings about missing driver. After restart kernel is stopping with message "kernel panic".
The server I am installing on is Intel S5000PAL http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/ and the drivers are version 07.15.0209.2007 on http://downloadcenter.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strT ypes=all&ProductID=2451&OSFullName=Red+Hat*+Enterprise+Linux+4.0&lang=eng&st rOSs=129&submit=Go%21
Could somebody give me some advices how to fix this ? I appreciate any hints and links.
Sincerely, Martin Minka

Boot up the old kernel. Copy the driver file from old kernel module directory to the new kernel module directory.

But the this driver may have to be compiled against the new kernel like other kernel modules.

Only if there was a change in kernel structures,api at which point it is forget it. The thing is a binary driver that was supplied on a floppy during installation. No compilation involved and I doubt there ever will be unless the vendor supplies a half open source driver/full open source driver.
