Hi Michal, The problem we're trying to solve is rebootless updates of modules that aren't loaded. While the Ksplice Uptrack software will update a loaded module in memory, it also needs to update modules on disk so that a later invocation of "modprobe" will find the updated code. However, if you reboot the system, you want to revert to the modules that came with the original kernel. The updated modules might, for example, rely on a symbol that wasn't exported by the original kernel.
Ah, I can see the problem you are trying to solve now. I initially thought you are providing those special ksplice modules in the alternate tree (which are installed by custom tools anyway, thus could be handled by a custom depmod & modprobe invocation).
