Sir,
After looking closely the 8250.c is not a module. It is compiled into the kernel. What is the shortes method to compile that file and rebuild what is needed to get it running.
Thanks for your help.

/ copy&paste from the Fedora Core 4 release notes:
6.2.2.4. Building Only Kernel Modules An exploded source tree is not required to build a kernel module, such as your own device driver, against the currently in-use kernel.
For example, to build the foo.ko module, create the following Makefile in the directory containing the foo.c file:
obj-m := foo.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd)
default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
Issue the make command to build the foo.ko module.

If something is compiled fix into the kernel and you want to change it by modifying the source code, there is no way around to recompile the whole kernel. So get the CentOS kernel src.rpm (probably you have that already) and write a patch which you integrate into the kernel-2.6.spec file. Then rpmbuild the kernel rpm.
