by driver update, were you referring to kernel update ?
are you able to boot on the previous kernel ?

a little more information on this server would be helpful to help you  :
- hardware or virtual machine ?



if virtual machine and previous kernel still work, please change the type of CPU in the setting of the VM. This is a common  bug referenced against CentOS and last kernels. Google will answer the question quite easily.

It’s not a virtual machine. It’s our gateway server. I cannot boot to previous kernel

Indownloaded a rpm file and ran it from hp driver update site. It was the driver for smart array controller. After reboot I couldn’t get into the system. Errro is
Mount wrong file type bad superblock on /dev/sdb2
The server configured as hardware raid(raid1).

Why? Was there an earlier version installed or were you just playing about?

1. Read the Manual
2. Read the Wiki
3. Don't ask for support on Unsupported versions of software
4. I have a job, wife, and kids and do this in my spare time. If you want something fixed, please help.

No testing first then? Which 'drivers' did you get?

You will probably need a rescue disk and try to unpick the damage. I would guess that SME recognised the 'single' hardware drive presented to it, but the software driver is accessing the actual drives directly.

I presume you have a good backup ?

any backup ?
easy way would be to restore them


harder way would be to boot on installation media on rescue mode, chroot, uninstall rpm and reboot.

Yes i have a good backup. And a rescue disk. But i test this installation on our old server. No errors were found.
That’s why i took so much of time to update. It’s almost 5 months gone after installed sme 9.2. To new server.

sorry but..
you're telling us you have an HP server with a smartarray controller.. did you setup hw raid when you installed SME or what?
and (forgive me, it's hard for me to believe) you installed a rpm today for that controller? why? did you have any issue? anything to be solved?
are you really telling us you installed it on your production gateway with no reason?

well.. which error?
was it at POST time or during SME's boot?
why didn't you ask for help here before doing it (in the general discussion area, for example)?
