Hi Stan, thank you so much! I followed your guide and was able to complete my first kernel compile. That said, now I have developed a number of questions with respect to what I am trying to accomplish with these kernel compiles. I would like to accomplish a number of things: 1. apply the patch to the kenel (which I am able to do now) while preserving the prioprietory NVIDIA driver installation. Is this possible or would I have to re-install and re-compile the drivers? 2. Can you tell me what will happen with respect to kernel updates post installation. Particularly as it relates to the NVIDIA drivers? Can I keep running dnf updates or would I have to prevent kernel updates some how? 3. After the compilation completes I find the following kernel-* files in /home/user0/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 which is great. But is there any way to avoid compiling the "debug" versions? I am trying "rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec" at the moment.
