Is this driver loaded as a kernel module? If so, you only need to rebuild the module against your target kernel and distribute the new module to the various machines.

If it's a builtin driver, then it'll be a little more involved. If distributing the new kernel is not feasible have a look at KSplice like features for hot-patching your kernel.

    Os : Debian 6 Kernel Version : 2.6.32

    I have been recently working with Linux application and now we
    have some
    little hard-disk issues where my motherboard doesn't support AHCI
    through bios. On various Google searches i found that i can force
    Linux
    kernel force load driver to AHCI mode.

    i have just now started my kernel walk through and i am very new for
    handling issues.

    THS IS THE QUIRK WHICH I FOUND WILL WORK
    :http://tartarus.org/~ds/quirk-ich-force-ahci.patch
    <http://tartarus.org/%7Eds/quirk-ich-force-ahci.patch>
    <http://tartarus.org/%7Eds/quirk-ich-force-ahci.patch>

    I download the kernel and its respective headers and did a complete
    kernel build.since its Debian updated it in the client machine and
    found
    it was working as expected

    linux-image-2.6.32_2.6.32-2_i386.deb -- 26MB
    linux-firmware-image_2.6.32-2_all.deb -- 5k
    but now i need to apply the patch in all my client machines which i
    located n remote locations where 26 mb in the network is very high

    Is there a way where only this quirk can be updated in client in a
    reduce size like some KO file update.

    Is this the only way way to update the driver?? need some
    guidelines on
    the same.

    i also saw :http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/add-rem...ernel-modules/
    <http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/add-remove-list-linux-kernel-modules/>

    in my case can someone guide me with some pointers how this has to
    be done

    Please guide
