[plug] Installing New Modules in a running kernel

[Timothy White]

I believe that it should be possible to compile modules for a running 
kernel and load them without a reboot. I.e. I have compiled a custom 
kernel, its running with module support, I discover I need another 
module, I change the .config file, do a make modules && sudo make 
modules_install and it should work? Well I tried just that and it worked 
except when I tried to load the new module (alsa virtual midi sound card)
Any ideas? I hope its possible as I hate rebooting, I like leaving my 
login session open for days on end, isn't that what I Terminal server is 
for?
