I don't build Kernels often. After some trial and error, I ended up with this sequence: $ make -j6 && make bzImage && make modules $ make modules_install && make install Couple of times Dracut failed to generate correct initramfs, resulting in froze. With a hint from Haralad Hoyer on IRC, I generated the initramfs manually (usually, using the host initrd should be sufficient): $ dracut /boot/initramfs-3.11.0-rc1+.img 3.11.0-rc1+ $ depmod -a > > I see alike software at bubuntu wiki [1]. > > Would anyone besides me find this useful enough for me to keep working > on it? Sure, I can certainly be a user here :-) . Note to self: Still have to debug/bisect an offending Kernel commit which is causing some KVM unit test failures. > > [0]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ignatenkobrain/Kernel/Bisection > [1]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Build_Upstream_Test_Kernel > -- /kashyap -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
