There are recent kernels without the patches? I think they are standard in all fedora kernels. To get your feet wet, you could build a standard Fedora kernel using one of these processes. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quick-docs/en-US/kernel/build-custom-kernel.html https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel/Source_RPM Then, when you have that working, use the same procedure to build the clear linux kernel from source. That way you know that both compile individually. The final step is just to ensure that once the Fedora kernel is patched to support clear linux, it compiles also. Then it will support the Fedora enhancements to the kernel that haven't made it upstream yet (and might never), and will run on any fedora system. I don't know if the clear linux kernel is compatible with other architectures and video hardware. If it isn't, it can only be run on x86_64 with intel video hardware (no nvidia or amd additional video hardware). If it isn't compatible with other architectures or video hardware, I don't think it makes sense to compile it as a Fedora kernel, so you would be done after you get it building from source. Not sure how useful such a kernel would be. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/SDS3J723DDZB6VNXHD2DVD2STHC7TDSY/
