Updating RAID driver when upgrading from kernel 2.6.9-5 to 2.6.9-11 on rh4 ES

[Maxim Vexler]

Hello,

I used the driver supplied by the vendor [1] to add aditional drivers
for the setup of redhat on  intel SE7230nh1 server board.

Now, we need to update to the updated kernel. Luckly the vendor does
provide a driver to the RH4-ES-U1 kerenl but only in a img file
format. i.e. sutible only for fresh install.

I would like to use the driver provided by this image, which I
downloaded and mounted by:
<<<
mount -o loop /tmp/dud-rh40-u1-x86_64-megaide-v5.08u-generic-1.img /media/fd0/
>>>
on my working system.

Using rhn I have downloaded the new rpm kernel package and it's
installed in the grub boot menu but when trying to boot the kernel I
get kernel panic stating that no drives were found.

Thank you for helping.
