Hi, I have a kernel already run on production, but I then realized that I need to add one or two driver to it. But I hope I can avoid to upgrade the kernel image for those already running products, I hope I can only extend the kernel by add the driver modules to the root file system. Is that possible? The current kernel has already compiled with the loadable modules options, but for the drivers that I want now the old config is 'no'. Thanks in advance. -woody -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Please use a subject line. you should be able to compile a dynamic module and insmod it.
