How to apply kernel patch and customise?
How do you apply kernel patch downloaded from kernel.org?
Also, say I got my own driver, how do I "integrate" it into my new kernel and compile it? Thanx |
http://linuxheadquarters.com/howto/t...nelpatch.shtml
tutorial assumes current kernel source is in /usr/src/linux never delete or move the kernel build directory after installation after you install the new kernel and it's running build and install the driver |
look at the man pages for patch ..
You have to build modules .. there are instructions for it in each distro .. generally same. Download any "sources" and read in it. Buidling modules is bit more involved than building kernel !! it's backwards but that's the way it is. |
thanx how about loading a driver into the kernel and build it? Is it possible?
Does all driver comes with the filename *.ko ? |
