DKMS knows how to work with the Red Hat-prepared kernel headers to build
your out-of-tree module.
Thanks,

Subject: RE: RHEL3 CIFS won't compile
It's not really "touching" the kernel tree. U copy the cifs dir under
the kernel fs dir, where all the other file system code is and patch the
config files so it knows CIFS is there. Then u tell it to include that
new dir in make menuconfig. CIFS shows up there and u put an M to tell
it to make a module. That's it, there's no alteration of any existing
kernel code. The CIFS code needs to be in the kernel tree to satisfy
the #includes. Now if I do a plain make rather than make modules it
successfully compiles a kernel. Since it works with the raw kernel
source, there has to be something changed by Red Hat to make it not
work. If u have a RHEL3 box try it for urself. Maybe I'm being
clueless about something.

you put your makefile and code in their own dir and if you do that right
(where "you" is the module author) then it "just works", no need for any
of that stuff to touch the actual tree

the instructions there aren't good for rhel3 really
