How to add a driver to the kernel ? The HyperNews Linux KHG Discussion Pages How to add a driver to the kernel ?Forum: The Linux Kernel Hackers' GuideRe: Kernel Makefile Configuration: how? (Simon Green)Keywords: Makefile, configuration, drivers, epic100Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 07:08:52 GMTFrom: jacek Radajewski <[e-mail]>Hi All, I am in the process of rebuilding our beowulf cluster system and have to include support for channel bonding and the epic100 SMC card. So far the epic100.o module works fine, but I need to compile epic100.c into the kernel. (I need a monolithic kernel to boot clients of a floppy disk and mount / via NFS). Anyway, I put an antry in .config "CONFIG_EPIC100=y", in drivers/net I put : ifeq ($(CONFIG_EPIC100),y) L_OBJS += epic100.o endif in the Makefile and compiled the kernel. (epic100.o did compile) I added an entry in /etc/lilo.conf : append="root=/dev/hda4 mem=256MB ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1 ether=0,0,eth2" and ran lilo "I have 2 SMC cards and 3C900 for the outside world" When I rebooted the machine only 3C900 was detected, but I have no problems loading the module. Questions. 1. What did I do wrong in the kernel configuration ? 2. Is there any documentation available on how to add drivers to the kernel ? to: "How to add a driver to the kernel ?" t
