<div>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.<br>
<br>
</div>
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.<br>

I have been recently working with Linux application and now
we have some<br>
little hard-disk issues where my motherboard doesn't support
AHCI<br>
through bios. On various Google searches i found that i can
force Linux<br>
kernel force load driver to AHCI mode.<br>
<br>
i have just now started my kernel walk through and i am very
new for<br>
handling issues.<br>
<br>
THS IS THE QUIRK WHICH I FOUND WILL WORK<br>

<br>
I download the kernel and its respective headers and did a
complete<br>
kernel build.since its Debian updated it in the client
machine and found<br>
it was working as expected<br>
<br>
linux-image-2.6.32_2.6.32-2_i386.deb -- 26MB<br>
linux-firmware-image_2.6.32-2_all.deb -- 5k<br>
but now i need to apply the patch in all my client machines
which i<br>
located n remote locations where 26 mb in the network is
very high<br>
<br>
Is there a way where only this quirk can be updated in
client in a<br>
reduce size like some KO file update.<br>
<br>
Is this the only way way to update the driver?? need some
guidelines on<br>
the same.<br>
<br>

has to be done<br>
