OK, I'm ready to compile my first kernel [snip] I have checked the visor.c and visor.h files for the lines I need to add.
Sorry to follow up my own post, but I was wondering (in my complete ignorance of kernel magic) - do I have to recompile the whole kernel just for one module? Or can I somehow just alter the visor module?
If you run make cloneconfig, which should give you the same config as the running kernel, make dep and make modules, then backup your present visor.o file and copy only that file from your source tree, it should work. Maybe run depmod -a, then lsmod to make sure it is not in memory, then modprobe visor, you may be working.
