Now the module in question wasn't really forgotten, I didn't need it on my last recompile, but now I do: I have a very nice new device, a Mambo USB Music Drive which is a mp3 player and a 128 MB USB storage in one, as small as a lighter. It should hotplug in Linux as well as it does in Windows, so I need usb-storage.o which I had disabled on my last full kernel compile.
How could I get usb-storage working (on a stock 2.4.21 kernel) without the whole recompile story which I really don't want to go through?
This should be possible, and I faintly remember to have done something like that before ...
All the other necessary usb stuff is already there.
Assuming that usb-storage doesn't make changes to the kernel itself, i think you just need to do another kernel build, but skip the 'make bzImage' step.
I'd like to avoid that, because after the kernel compile I had added some third party modules (ALSA, NVIDIA kernel driver) which I wouldn't like to do again just to get another single standard kernel module. I think there was a trick to post compile a specific module, perhaps some tweaking of /drivers/usb/Makefile - I don't remember it.
