    Hi,

    Not sure what exactly you want, you mean while the board is booting Or when board is booted up and Linux up and running ?

    If in case while board is booting up create init script and put it in /etc/init.d , the script will look out for your module in the path and remove it off. also you might want to modify the script which by default is looking for that module.

    Thanks,

    Simply delete the *.ko file by manually or automated through script from booted kernel folder.
    For install the module drivers into rootfs , we have to provide below command.

    Ex:

    make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi-
