I regularly build and patch fedora kernels using the rpmbuild method, since I've been doing it for a long time. I am unfamiliar with the more modern method so cannot help with that. I wrote my procedure as a reply to this list some time ago under "custom kernel build with patch". https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/RIDKU2B5QY43GM7MYEFVLYBLDJATKKAN/ When I create my personal patch, I have to create it locally for the kernel in git after I expand the source, or it won't be accepted. If your patch is not an official kernel patch, it won't apply for the same reason. If you use secure boot with uefi, you will also have to remove the test signature from the custom kernel, and create a signing key and sign it with your key after install. I documented my procedure for that in a message on the user list, "How to sign a locally compiled kernel so it can be booted with UEFI." https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/WDESO66R64NGNXT73XWBKOBQ2T6RCJT4/ _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
