When updating xiRAID Classic 4.0.1 on RHEL or RHEL-based 9.0 to xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 on RHEL or RHEL-based 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4, the output may include the following warning:

Warning:

When installing Xinnnor xiRAID on RHEL or RHEL-based 9*, the latest kernel version will be installed. To revert your system to the kernel version used prior to installation, you need to change the default kernel that is launched. Specify the kernel version you want to return to (kernel_version):

# grubby --set-default "/boot/vmlinuz-<kernel_version>"
