Oh, yeah. Forgot. I suspect you'll need to rebuild the initramfs after
patching your driver. The "depmod" verifies that all the module
dependencies were met so if you were to "modprobe" nouveau it'd work,
but I believe nouveau goes into the initramfs so the boot was still
using the original one from the kernel update. So:
1. Patch
2. Build
3. Move to appropriate spot
4. Depmod
5. Rebuild initramfs...make sure the new module is included
6. Reboot
Rick, I think that's it: lsinitrd lists the nouveau driver and points to
the newly built binary in /lib/modules/.../updates/.
In older versions of the initramfs image in my /boot directory, the
original driver is listed.
So, in your step 5, a simple "dracut" should do the trick (with the
"--force"-option when the initramfs version corresponds to the running
kernel). I found that dracut finds and includes the binary in
/lib/modules/ .../updates/.
Thank you for pointing me into this direction!
