How To compile new kernel in debian 9

===========

Is the easiest way, if there is some part that you can not understand,
or something does not work, feel free to ask, try to give details if it
does not work. If it is not clear enough, perhaps some one can explain details
and then maybe some volunteer can edit the wiki, so that it is more clear.

8.6. Compiling a New Kernel

Why would someone want to compile a new kernel? It is often not necessary since the default kernel shipped with Debian handles most configurations. Also, Debian often offers several alternative kernels. So you may want to check first if there is an alternative kernel image package that better corresponds to your hardware. However, it can be useful to compile a new kernel in order to:

If none of this is what you are looking for , or of no use to you, I apologize in
advance, it would be because I am misunderstanding the question to start with,
or something and hopefully someone else will be able to help better.

This seems to go into great detail,and depth, I don't have the time to read it all

you still haven't really described what the actual problem is you are trying to solve

is there something you tried to do that output an error message?

[stevepusser]

Doesn't the kernel come with some internal command to make deb packages anyway? That is probably why the external programs aren't really needed any longer.

Ahh, it's just the deb-pkg argument.

Code: Select all

make deb-pkg

The Debian handbook for compiling a kernel is worth reading before you do anything: https://debian-handbook.info/browse/sta ... ation.html

I've also had success rebuilding the Liquorix kernel from its debianized source packages https://liquorix.net/debian/pool/main/l/linux-liquorix/ using the standard Debian packaging tools, though you have to be careful if you want to make any configuration changes and do them the right way. You can also rebuild the Debian kernel in this way, but it takes a lot longer because of a very lengthy build of the various document formats for the linux-docs package.
