If all it creates is a kernel headers RPM, seems you would at least have to install it, rebuild and install the sg module for the target arch, rmmod/modprobe to reload - or reboot, or possibly a build a new kernel. > Also, if I need to patch another system, can I just take the rpm and > install it instead of repeating the patching procedure? If you create a new kernel RPM for the appropriate arch[es] with the patched driver, that could be installed on the other system.
