installing a new module?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have the following scenario, can someone tell me if
I this will work?

I have a system with Linux installed.  Looking at the
config file, it has the NFS configuration option set
to M (compile as module).

If I do the following steps, is it valid, and will it
work:

1. Copy the /src/linux to my local directory
2. Make some changes to NFS source file (basically add
kprintfs )
3. Compile kernel (hence compile the module).
4. Install the module (of course logged in as root).

Note I am doing this without using the newly built
kernel, or do I need to reboot with new kernel before
I can use the new module?

Thanks,
Ahmed.
