# Linux-Custom-Kernal


Author : Gowtham Reddy 




Instructions For Buidling Your Custom Kernal 




Notice : This Kernal Was Build on Linux 6.7.2



you can use wget in terminal with the link on Download button;



example :  wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.7.2.tar.xz




extract the kernal using : tar xvf Kernal6.x.x,tar.xz



this will take some time to extract the kernal 



get into that Directory using cd 



by default the .config file will not be there we need to make the one to customize the kernal.



NOTE - the .config file contains the useful information to compile to what and what not to compile.



use this command to make a config file :

make menuconfig -j8


	 ^       ^ 


	 |       |________________________


make GUI config selection           |


to select whats needed              |


							                      |


                                    |


			               			the total no of


						              cores to run on


						              specific process


						             (this is flag)



now you can see the lot of things that you need and not needed to the laptop or to the computer (you can customize the required stuff)

		-> maximun no of cpu's (Enter no of threads you own in your pc)


		-> Disable 5 - level page table Support








6) Power management and ACPI Options:


	->change performance governer as needed



7)Virtualization is needed if you want to run virtual machines





8)Enable the Block Layer


	->Disable Block Layer Debugging(useful for kernal dev's - Bloat)





9)in network read carefully and select 





10 ) Device Drivers 


	


	->Disable PCCard 


	-> Enable all in NVME Support (cuz i use NVME)


	-->in SCSI Enable Asynchronous SCSI Scanning

Time To Compile The Kernal That We Built !!





___________________________________________

 






use this Commands to compile : make -j8  && sudo make modules_install -j8






it Take's  Some Time To Compile ..









backup the old kernal file and Repalce it with new one



you can find your current Kernal in /boot/vmlinux-linux 





vmlinuz-linux is the kernal 






copy the kernal to /boot






ex : sudo cp arch/x86/boot/bzimage  /boot/vmlinuz-linuxgowtham





Reconfigre the boot loader





sudo grub-mkconfig-o /boot/grub/grub.cfg






Its Done !!




Thanks To : 




No One !



 This is my effort !



 But this is Completly Legal .
