Adding module to stock kernel/distro

[Bana]

I just installed FC2 Test2 (very nice btw) and I want to add the sata_sil module (which isn't built with the stock config). Is there any way to build it and just add it into my current group of modules?

I have already tried configuring the stock source and adding it (as module) then make modules and make modules_install but that creates the modules in a separate /lib/modules/2.6.3custom folder. If I try manually copying it, it tells me this in modinfo:[root@localhost oss]# modinfo sata_sil

depends: libata
alias: pci:v000010
.... So for some reason this is a custom module and it is not allowing me to put it into my kernel (stock). Any ideas?

btw, modprobe gives me this: [root@localhost oss]# modprobe sata_sil
FATAL: Module sata_sil not found.
[root@localhost scsi]# insmod sata_sil.ko
insmod: error inserting 'sata_sil.ko': -1 Invalid module format

Bana, maybe this guide will help you:
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/hernan_fernandez/ntfs/

If you wanted to package it into an RPM, this might give you ideas:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/build.html

Ahh yes, this should be precisely what I need, I will try this and then get back to you.

Mmm, looks like I am getting the same result unfortunately, whenever I modprobe (with ntfs this time as per the guide) I get this: [root@localhost /]# modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Error inserting ntfs (/lib/modules/2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko): Invalid module format
[root@localhost /]# modinfo ntfs
