For in-tree modules, go into the kernel source directory, use menuconfig or whatever to set that configuration setting to 'm', make, make modules-install. (Or, at least, that's my preferred method modulo typos.) Changing kernel settings doesn't always require a new kernel image; here's a table (please view in a fixed width font. Old New Result N M Rebuild modules N Y Rebuild image M N No rebuild needed M Y Rebuild image [1] Y N Rebuild image Y M Rebuild image If the image needs rebuilding, you'll also need to rebuild all modules. You'll also want to re-install anything you had to rebuild. [1]: Remove the module from /lib/modules to make sure you don't try and load it twice. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
