How to build custom Pop!_OS kernel? (with patch) #296
Description
Hi! 🙂
I would like to build and install a custom kernel version with a patch, based on the current Pop!_OS 6.6.10-76060610-generic kernel. Are there any up to date instructions on how to build and install a custom Pop!_OS kernel?
The kernel patch is a simple quirk, that should fix a microphone issue in a Lenovo laptop, similar to the 171726a commit.
A guide I trying to follow is:
https://tutorialforlinux.com/2021/01/04/step-by-step-build-kernel-pop_os-guide/
Steps:
- clone Pop_OS! Linux kernel repository
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pop-os/linux.git; cd linux
- use the current kernel config
$ sudo cat /boot/config-6.6.10-76060610-generic > .config
- clean and build with
deb-pkg
$ make clean
$ make deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom KDEB_PKGVERSION=$(make kernelversion)-1
This last command first gives a warning about uncommitted changes, and fails with a patch related error (see bellow).
Can somebody help me with this?
