    how to complile individual modules?



    how do i compile 1 or 2 extra modules that i kinda missed when mkaing my kernel modules. i really dont feel like waiting 20 minutes to recompile all the modules for the sake of 2 files.

    i kinda forgot to turn on automount (mdk kernel) but it did by default have automounter version 4 support. so if i can just change it to use this instead of whatever im using now (v1 or 2 i guess coz v4 says it suports v3) that would help too. I know the cd drives are detected coz they show up (and are useable as /dev/scd0 and scd1)

    When you reconfig the kernel, don't do a make clean, just make, make modules, ect. It will just recompile the files which changed were made to.

    You don't even have to run "make", since the core kernel image doesn't need to be remade. If you have only enabled more modules, "make modules && make modules_install" will do.
