Recompiling ata_piix; only the single module

Asked by TradiZ

Hi,

I need some help understanding how to compile a single module in the Ubuntu Fiesty kernel 2.6.20-16-generic.

I have a very new computer with Intel Santa Rosa (ICH8) and my Cdrom is not there due to this Bug:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8835

I installed Kernel 2.6.22.3 and the patch is included in that kernel and Cdrom works. Now I am back (clean install) to 2.6.20-16-generic and would like to recompile only the ata_piix module with the patch from the above link.

What do I need to install, and how is the procedure done in this case?

I have installed build-essential, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic, linux-restricted-modules-generic, linux-source (not unpacked yet)

uname -a = 2.6.20-16-generic

Thanks in advance,

Tradiz

This is a technical question; you may have more luck searching in Ubuntuforums.org for an existing conversation on this, or ask the question there. Since you have done already a kernel compilation, you should be able to find your way in ubuntuforums.org.

Can you help with this problem?
