No that's not enough.

What happens to the Raid/Scsi Modules (in my example megaraid_sas)? 
Perhaps the most important one, because OMSA demands a new version.
It's not used after reboot - because the initrd does not contain the new 
module and you have to recreate it.

Now seriously, isn't it a little bit hard to maintain these extra modules?
Can someone at dell please find a way to make this more comfortable?

Thx
