Building a kernel module separately

[John Summerfield]

Those who've followed my recent questions will have noticed that I am 
having a problem with f9alpha.

My latest idea to try to resolve this is to build different versions of 
the sata_piix, libata and the others (I think there are four).

Despite the Jones Boy's claim, I'm sticking to the "it's a kernel bug" 
thesis.

Currently I have a 2.6.24 kernel that works, and I can point my figner 
all the the 2.6.25 kernels and assert they don't.

I've built kernels before, that's no problem. What I want to do this 
time is to take some kernel modules from the source tree for 2.6.24 and 
build them against a 2.6.25 kernel.


I'm aware that instructions exist for building out-of-tree modules, but 
I don't know whether they work for modules currently in the source tree.

Any insights?
