and you really should upgrade your kernel if you have local users
on your server...

seems fun too

if you are lucky you could just copy the hpahcisr.ko file and into 
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra and let kernel upgrade do the weak update magic.

OTOH, if the order of kernel module is important as suggested above, you need to 
do it manually see mkinird man pages.
