When testing suspend to RAM, all tests went well. But the real thing doesn't work...

I did a brief presentation of Coccinelle in a lightning talk on Friday. It was the first time I had Linus on the audience. :-) Slides  here . Photo on the Linux Kernel Summit 2013. I'm near Linus and Greg :-)* :-) *Photo by: Thorsten Leemhuis

Sometimes one may want to just compile a single module and use it without rebooting the machine. In my case I wanted to play with 8139cp/8139too modules inside a KVM virtual machine running Fedora. There are two requirements: 1 - Kernel source code 2 - Kernel development package The source code is where to do the changes, while the development package contains the headers that allow to compile Kernel modules with the right version magic. There are some options for obtaining the Kernel source code, but here the Fedora way is listed. You could probably download the Kernel from http://kernel.org . Install packages, prepare RPM buil tree, and "install" the source code(Fedora way): [fedora] $ sudo yum install @"Development Tools" rpmdevtools yum-utils ncurses-devel [fedora] $ rpmdev-setuptree [fedora] $ yumdownloader --source kernel [fedora] $ sudo yum-builddep kernel-<version>.src.rpm [fedora] $ rpm -Uvh kernel-<version>.src.rpm Prepare the sou
