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.
