Thanks, but I already do that, that's why I started building a custom kernel. I use a config file tuned to the hardware I run (make localconfig?). I used to also patch the kernel, but I'm taking a break from that, as the kernel seems to be working OK for me without the patch, and it needs to be regularly maintained with the constant changes. It's pretty straightforward to customize the kernel config, using the config file from the previous kernel in /boot and make oldconfig, and then make menuconfig, after the sources are unpacked. Then I just move the config to SOURCES/kernel-local, and rpmbuild uses it when building the rpms. I like that the custom kernels are known and managed by the package manager. I think that your method probably builds a vanilla kernel, one without the Fedora kernel patches. But, as I said, I am unfamiliar with that method, so there is probably a way to apply the Fedora kernel patches that way too. One of the joys of linux, the many different ways to accomplish the same task. _______________________________________________ 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
