I have a few questions about Kernels.

1) I have been using Redhats Automatic update to get updated Kernels on my system automatically. Where can I find the .config file used to build this kernel?

2) How do I diasble kernel "version support" for loading modules.
I have a few modules I compiled myself and dont want to re-compile these every time I install a new Kernel

3) One more thing..I am trying to write my own module and have started with the basics..I have "#include <linux/module.h>" . Where exactly is the module.h being pulled from? I have ~ 5 source trees from upgrades to kernels. Which one is it using?


Thanks

1.) Don't use red hat so can't help but should be in the /usr/src/linux directory.

2.) When you compile a kernel, in the 'loadable module support' bit of the config you can disable this feature.

3.) Most probably from /usr/src/linux it should be a symlink to the correct directory in /usr/src/ Try ls -l to see which one its pointing to.

1) Ok, so where would be the .config file be from a normal install of the kernel?

2)Yeah, I found that out going throught the doc.

3) I looked in /usr/src/linux and lnix is linked to my current kernel. #include <linux/module.h> is pulling from a kernel that is 6 months old and not even in the /usr/src directory. Any way to hard code my module to point to the latest kernel?

thanks

3.) I think you can just give the full path to the relevant file but im not that good at programming
