If it works ok on the old kernel, it should also work OK on the new one.



Not if it's a binary-driver...

No idea what i broke..



You upgraded the kernel...


Seriously - if this driver is not included in the vanilla- or distribution-kernel, get the heck rid of it (the hardware).
With very few exceptions it's usually not worth the trouble.
One of these exceptions is Areca (don't know if the driver is in now RHEL/CentOS) - the guy maintaining the driver at Areca actually responds to email enquiries.
But then, they distribute source and not BLOBs.




cheers,
Rainer

You should be able to compile the driver into the new kernel tree while still running the old kernel. You will just have to add a lot of paths to the compile line and the mkinitrd line. I am surprised that it doesn't give examples somewhere on their website or in the modules docs.
