#10041: [PM] cannot override 'system' driver -------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: ttcoder | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/Package Management Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by ttcoder): Oops my lack of experience with this motherboard is showing. Seems the answer to that question is, it does not, there is only one hda instance and its date is somewhat consistent with the nightly's date but not my driver's build: {{{ ~> ll /system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda -r-xr-xr-x 1 user root 55939 2013-09-22 03:59 /system/add- ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda ~> ll config/non-packaged/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/ total 72 -rwxr-xr-x 1 user root 71595 2012-11-17 01:03 hda ~> uname -a Haiku shredder 1 c996b65 Sep 21 2013 21:47:23 BePC Haiku }}} With what I understand of PM thus far, it seems the only way to use/test a custom build of a driver is to rebuild the 50 MB haiku package that contains it, as per this listing: {{{ ~> package list /system/packages/haiku.hpkg | grep hda hda 55939 2013-09-22 03:59:55 -rwxr- xr-x hda 0 2013-09-22 03:59:55 lrwxr- xr-x -> ../../../bin/hda ~> }}} I'll try to do a script that does this automatically (package extract to /tmp, cp mybuild/hda /tmp/whatever/hda, package create, mv mycreatedpackage /system/packages/haiku.hpkg). If that works that will be a valid (if clunky :-) work-around for the problem... This machine is being lent to a customer in 2 days, so I might do my attempts on another one, but shouldn't change the equation much. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10041#comment:7> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
