Hey Thanks for very quick response let the check that and get back to you Regards Venkat.S On 29-01-2014 14:06, Mandeep Sandhu wrote:
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
