Building

# Typical kernel build workflow
make menuconfig        # or use provided .config
make -j$(nproc)        # compile kernel
make modules_install   # install modules
make install           # install kernel

Refer to the kernel's standard documentation for detailed build instructions.


Deployment

Built kernel packages can be deployed to target servers. Ensure:

  • Bootloader configuration updated (GRUB, systemd-boot, etc.)
  • Initramfs regenerated with update-initramfs or dracut
  • Module dependencies handled correctly
