[gentoo-user] Add a module post kernel config/build
Summary: How can I add an additional module once I've configured/built a kernel? Details: After looking thru the handbook, especially section about kernel config, I don't see information about how to add a module once a kernel is built and running. Using `genkernel all' on latest sources (linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r6) I ended up with no `fuse' module. Far as I know I've been getting a fuse module when using `genkernal' on previous kernels. What is proceedure for adding that module now? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

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. ,= ,-_-. =.

I never used genkernel, but if you have the kernel source tree available, you can just cd into it, adjust your configuration (using make *config), then do make make modules_install. Only the new stuff you added will be rebuilt and installed (ie, the fuse module in your case), assuming you did not delete the already compiled object files inside the tree. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
