i read from site topic Kernel Support for Loading Modules there i found we can't impliment Scheduling algorithms in form of module why?

if i want to chang this sheduling algorithm with some other shelf created algorithm then which type i can do this guide me.

Simply put, the system can't run without a scheduler, so it *has* to be compiled into the kernel. The scheduler is needed before the kernel has a chance to load any modules from a filesystem.

If you want to change the scheduling algorithm, take a look at kernel/sched.c in the kernel source distribution. That contains the schedule() function, amongst others.
