Hi,

I need to recompile my Kernel in order to activate some missing options...

I've tried few way but failed...

It can be done on a freshly install Devuan 5 Daedalus.

Thanks.

Re: How recompile Kernel ? ( fresh install )

Same as you would on Debian.
OTOH, compiling a kernel is much the same on any distro and hasn't changed significantly in decades, the only real difference here is using the debian specific make targets (included in linux-source-[version]) to build .deb packages rather than manually installing the image/modules.

tried few way but failed...

And if you also fail to elaborate, nobody will know why.

Re: How recompile Kernel ? ( fresh install )

ok compiling now...

I've used make bindeb-pkg

Does someone already tried with -j$(nproc) ?
in full: make bindeb-pkg -j$(nproc)

it's should be faster, but might be prone to error ? did you already tried ?

in the section 4.4 Out-of-tree kernel modules of Debian Linux Kernel Handbook

Should I do it ?

If I understand well the document is either 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 method , right ?
