Re: [Gumstix-users] Kernel modules upload

[Pradeep S. <pra...@pa...>]

Hi,

Did you try changing the corresponding OS defconfig file.
For example I am using overo with linux-omap3-2.6.27. If I want to add a
module, I go to packages/linux/linux-omap3-2.6.27/overo/defconfig and enable
the needed module, and then rebuild linux-omap3-2.6.27. My required module
will be there in /lib/modules.
I don't know if you did the same way. I am also a newbie, please forgive if
I made any mistake.
