Need to install Adaptec adpahci driver on upgraded kernel


Hi,

I pre-installed Adaptec adpahci drivers when I installed AS4 on a new system (meaning at the installer boot prompt I entered "linux dd"). I was therefore able to install the OS on a box for which the RedHat distro did not contain drivers. The drivers, which I downloaded from SuperMicro (the hardware vendor) were for kernel 2.6.9-5 which is the version on the RedHat distro.

Ran up2date and that included a new kernel, 2.6.9-55.0.12. Of course, the kernel panicked on reboot because it couldn't find the disk (I rebooted on the distro kernel). I've been unable to find either precompiled drivers for the new kernel or source to build them.

Any ideas about where I can find what I need?

Thanks.
