Building a kernel with the HMC media device driver
Control the build options for the HMC media device driver through the kernel configuration menu.
Kernel builders: This information is intended for those who want to
build their own kernel. Be aware that both compiling your own kernel or recompiling an existing
distribution usually means that you have to maintain your kernel yourself.
Figure 1 shows where to find the kernel configuration menu option that is required for the HMC media device driver.

Support for file transfers from HMC drive CD/DVD-ROM (CONFIG_HMC_DRV)You must select the kernel configuration option CONFIG_HMC_DRV and the common code option CONFIG_FUSE_FS to build a kernel that supports access to the files on removable media at the HMC system.
The HMC media device driver can be compiled into the kernel or as a
separate module, hmcdrv.
