Modified Linux kernel and related OS adjustments for network / server use.
Carbon-Kernel is a customized Linux kernel build with modifications and related OS adjustments optimized for network and server workloads. This repository contains kernel patches, configuration files, and build scripts for creating a tailored kernel.
- Base: Linux kernel (modified)
- Target: Network / server environments
- Customizations: Kernel config tweaks, driver modifications, performance optimizations
- Use Case: Specialized server deployments requiring custom kernel parameters

# Typical kernel build workflow
make menuconfig # or use provided .config
make -j$(nproc) # compile kernel
make modules_install # install modules
make install # install kernelRefer to the kernel's standard documentation for detailed build instructions.
Built kernel packages can be deployed to target servers. Ensure:
- Bootloader configuration updated (GRUB, systemd-boot, etc.)
- Initramfs regenerated with
update-initramfsordracut - Module dependencies handled correctly
