Greg, Thank you for getting back to me. Yes I have tried this and unfortunately I get the error that there is "No rule to make target drivers/block/cciss.ko". I looked at the drivers/block/Makefile and the targe is listed as "obj-$(CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA) += cciss.o. I therefore tried "make drivers/block/cciss.o" which produced a large amount of compile errors not just from the cciss.c file, but also from the header files included in cciss.c. I captured the output and I believe this is because the compile line seems to only be "CC [M] drivers/block/cciss.o" and does not include the additional flags needed for the compile. Do you have any further suggestions? Once again your help is greatly appreciated.
