Behavior of Unbundled and Embedded Host Drivers

When you upgrade to a kernel that contains an embedded host driver, you might notice a change in the behavior of your host drivers. For example, the separate host drivers RPM file that accompanies your OS might be gone, and the way you activate and install the host drivers will be different than it was in the previous kernel version.


Caution

Caution  -  If you are using unbundled host drivers and you have a script for host driver installation from a central deployment server, then when you upgrade to a kernel version that has embedded host drivers, your scripts might not run. The scripts might even call an older version of host driver that is not embedded.
