Hi,

Could I know if I could load a driver for a disk drive without rebooting the system? I have written a ide-disk driver, but I dont wish to restart the system. Can I simply load that module in some way, and then later return to the actual driver?

Thanks in advance,
Sumit

Not yet - I'm working in that direction

Merging some changesets from RMS's kernel? ;-)
