![]() ![]() Because those drivers are actually kernel modules, that have to have bits of them built against the source-tree used to build the kernel that’s meant to load them. I’m talking about a way to not have to re-build all your third-party drivers every time you update the kernel, like I get to do now (which is in no way a hassle, and never fails or leaves my system in an unstable state! Really!).Įvery time Red Hat pushes out a kernel update, I have to re-run the VirtualBox installer to re-build the kernel driver, and I get to un-install and re-install the nVidia driver. There is a difference - at least, there is a difference between a kernel module the way the Linux kernel does it, and a driver the way Windows does it. I’m talking about loading an arbitrary, external binary driver, not a kernel module.
