Drivers for Linux

You devices may be supported by extra kernel modules.
You can try to install kernel-modules-extra before searching a driver for your devices.

To install kernel-modules-extra
    yum install kernel-modules-extra

Reboot to take effect
    reboot

Compile A Kernel Module / Driver

To Install Kernel Header
yum install kernel-devel

To Install GCC
yum install gcc

<compile module source code>
make

<install your compiled module>
make install

To Generate module.dep for New Module
depmod

To Add New Module
modprobe module_name

PS: You may need to update initrd by mkinitrd for some boot devices.

Create Custom Linux Kernel

Download Kernel Source Code
    wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.5.1.tar.bz2

Extract Source Code
    tar jxvf linux-3.5.1.tar.bz2

Create Config with menuconfig
    cd linux-3.5.1

    (for full text mode)

    make menuconfig

    (for X window system)
    make xconfig

    (for GTK)
    make gconfig

PS: You can load .configuration from /usr/src/kernels/x.y.z/.config (current kernel)

Compile (4-parallel for multi-core CPU)
    make -j 4

Create Custom Linux Initrd

Extract from Initrd
gunzip < initrd.img | cpio -i --make-directories

Create Initrd
find ./ | cpio -H newc -o > initrd.cpio
gzip initrd.cpio
mv initrd.cpio.gz initrd.img



Create Initrd from System Folder
mkinitrd /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
