Hi,

I have an exisiting compiled kernel (2.6.16) on my Debian Etch system. Afrter compiling/installing I just realized that I forgot to add one option to the kernel before I started compiling i.e.
"AMD and Nvidia IDE support" under Device Drivers->ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support.

I want to compile that option as module and NOT built into the kernel.

Now I have heard that I can do the above without compiling my entire kernel as I always do. Is it true? If it , then how do I do that? I usually compile the kernel debian way(make-kpkg). How can add the support for the option "AMD and Nvidia IDE support" for my existing running kernel(2.6.16) without recompiling the kernel?

Thanks.
