RE: kernel upgrade question (2.4.7-10 -> 2.4.18-27.7)

will the kernel rpm have all the new/updated driver modules
as well? or do I need to find them as well.

For instance I have (2) Adaptec products that were not 
recognized on my 7.2 (2.4.7-10) install. 

I'm wondering if the 2.4.18-27 kernel will recognize them.

Thanks
George
