Hi all
Thanx for your response.
I am using this flavor of linux distribution from red hat
Linux 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686.PAE i686 GNU/Linux
which i obtained on my console on doing a uname -o -s -p -r command.
However i dont have the source code of AHCI driver ahci.c with this distribution.
Can you tell me whom to contact to get the source code for ahci.c for the distribution i am using?
Thanks and regards,
Tauseef
Junior design engineer,
Gennum

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches in your kernel source tree.
If the new HW is intended to work with a distro (e.g., Redhat, SuSe,
Debian, Ubuntu, et al)
you will need to contact each distro and submit a patch in a similar
fashion to them.

The following simplified answer should work for most distro's but
unlikely to work 100% of the time:
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install
sudo reboot
Then interrupt the boot loader (likely grub) to select your kernel.
And given the nature of your questions, I suggest you visit
kttp://kernelnewbies.org .
cheers,
