Hi Experts,
I am making changes to some of the device drivers by recompiling it and generate a new .ko file and install it. But in that case each of the different versions of linux I have to recompile and needs to be installed.
Instead how to create a patch for all the series in the Cent OS 5 version and to install it independent of machine ?

Re: Creating general Patch for kernel driver
If what you mean by "all the series in the Cent OS 5 version" is 'all kernel versions of CentOS 5', then you have another option. That is to create a kABI-tracking kmod package as described in this CentOS wiki article.
Yet another option, which is the easiest, will be to ask ELRepo to provide such a kmod package.
