Compile Linux Kernel w/ Dynamically (Un)loadable usbserial Module

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I've attempted to install drivers for an FPGA device, but require that I remove the usbserial module. This happens to be impossible because usbserial is a built-in module. It was suggested that I compile a new kernel to make usbserial dynamically loadable and unloadable. I'm now trying to compile a custom kernel w/ Fedora. The guide being located here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel At this moment I am using a GUI to set my kernel options, but I have no idea what options to select and deselect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (HowTos)

How to build source kernel 23 weeks 3 days ago

I have found the fedora docs for building a kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel This guide assumed that I would build from a src.rpm. If I wanted to build 3.7 directly from kernel.org sources then what steps are missing from the guide or is there a better guide?

Hello, As mentioned by the guide below, i am trying to build Linux kernel on my system.

I've built a kernel with loadable module support for various reasons, one of them the possibility to compile modules and load them without rebooting. This is supposed to be useful when I need a module that I had not enabled in the kernel config.

Now, with drivers like nouveau, it's as easy as going to the source directory, and running make M=drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau.

Hi, I have to develop a driver for a custom FPGA we are developing. I'm cross compiling for an ARM processor (AT91SAM9G20 using uCLinux 2.6.30), but I think my question applies to Linux drivers generally.

Can't build FC16 32 bit kernel 45 weeks 3 days ago

I'm following to this guide: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel But on this step rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec I get the following errors:

Hi All,

I am a Linux Person and I have good exposure in almost all Linux Flavours which ranges from Fedora, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc. The problem that I face now is, On all Linux Flavour which uses Kernel Version 3.2 + I am not able to configure and use USB Modem - ZTE MG 880.

I want to add a particular new system call in the linux kernel 3.2.x but as a loadable kernel module.(as i don't want to recompile the kernel again and again)

I read through many posts on internet and also on SO, and got an impression that implementing System calls as a loadable module is not possible and some places it is said to be possible.

I am really confused now.
