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:

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?

Best regards,
