 installing single module hi, i'm trying to configure my cd-rw but i'm missing a 'ide-scsi' module. I just compiled 2.6.3 kernel but forgot to compile this particular module. Can anyone tell me, how can I compile only this specific module without the need to compile the whole kernel again. I searched in google for tutorials/articles on how to install/compile a single module and found some stuff but to no avail to me - either off-topic or too complicated. (i'm new to linux). OK, thanks in advance. I appreciate it. P.S. I use Slackware 9.1 (2.6.3), if that's needed.      |

It will make your cd-burning experience much better, comparing to 2.4.x. You will be able to actually perform other tasks, while burning cds. All you should do is change ide-scsi in your lilo.conf to ide-cd. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAStkfG1tSQ2rXjJkRAr8iAKClMKtyyqm4eEz3a6VvoB 9FnhqRbwCdEjiv XEK+cIqTLkr/wed+nb8gzL4= =ytDY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

I just realized, that I actually never answered your question. Here's the answer: simply select the module you want in make menuconfig [or xconfig, whatever you use], then run make [since you run 2.6.x], then make modules_install. It should compile only that additional module, and it will install all the modules [including the new one]. After that, you can safely load it. Hope this helps [however, I still suggest you take a look at ide-cd] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAStozG1tSQ2rXjJkRArI5AKDLjw+CgYU5EDH4RzMwXb PKUnQgxwCfUcrU itTN5XJO+EXykPgT+bfgzq8= =R5qb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Irrespective of all the HOWTOs and documents you've read, with the 2.6 kernel you can burn CD's with the normal IDE CD driver. I've done it, it works fine. > Can anyone tell me, how can I compile only this specific module > without the need to compile the whole kernel again. Well you don't need to know how to do this for this particular driver, but for future reference... $ cd /usr/src/linux $ make help That'll give you a quick run-down on most of the kernel make targets. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. | | The proof of the pudding, is under the crust. | |------------------------------<sryoungs@bigpond.net.au>---| |
