I haven't looked into this yet but either :
- The module/driver isn't included and this is a serious bug.
- The module has been renamed or support for those MegaRaid cards has been
moved into another module... this is a bug also, but the remedy is to add
more "glue" or some other non trivial mechanism to kernel updates.
...or I'm simply missing something ;-)
I'm betting on a bug, but my bitch was not the bug in the new kernel,
its the silent hiding of that error by up2date, and the misleading
report of success. I removed the new kernel, and re ran up2date,
and it still reported success despite the failure >:|
So consider this a vote for a serious review of up2date.
