udev upgrade was no problem, new kernel booted as well, but again I saw the FC flapping up and down and no filesystems coming up there. So I patched the older kernel and went back ... for now our one issue is solved (enabling ACLs for the filesystems) but 4.1.15 as kernel isn't quite up to date. I wonder if that FC adapter would need a firmware update or so. Too risky anyway, the server is a few 100 kms away etc etc
