I just glanced over the Wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Traditional_compilation , unless I'm missing it, it doesn't mention the patch command, but patch usage didn't change at all. Building an Arch package is described by the Arch Wiki, too. You can build a new package by more or less only doing copy and paste, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system . The last kernel package I build was an apt package for linux 6.2.9 on Xubuntu. The only pitfall with 6+ kernels might be RAM. I read about RAM space issues even when not building in tmpfs. At least I didn't run into an issue with 32 GiB of RAM, when building the 6.2.9 kernel not in tmpfs. > You can also use "downgrade" to downgrade to the last working 6.5.x > kernel and put it into IgnorePkg. This is a good idea. Btw. "downgrade" is provided by the chaotic-aur repository, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/unofficial_user_repositories . After installing downgrade you only need to run sudo downgrade linux linux-docs linux-headers and select the desired packages from the lists. It seems to have a new interface. Providing the package lists is a little bit delayed on my machine now. Regards, Ralf
