I usually take the newest openSUSE kernel (from repository Kernel_stable). But since some month I have a DVB T2 HD card, which requires a patch (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194171).

So I need to compile kernels myself. I have a working compilation path. But the current path has 12 steps! It takes some time. I wonder, why it is so complicated to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE.

Is there a better/easier/automated way to configure, compile and install a Kernel under openSUSE?

I know this blog article. But the article uses Vanilla kernels and also needs 6 steps. With additional patches (4 steps), third-party modules (2

...

steps) and cleanup (1 step) the article would also need 13 steps: Out of the box thinking:

Send the patch upstream: - no steps required

Open a bug for the kernel team with the patch and ask for inclusin: - 1 step

Otherwise ... I usually let the OBS build kernels RPMs, so I would: - checkout kernel-default - add the patch to patches.fixes.tar.bz2 and series.conf - osc ci - have OBS build it.

(Your DKMS steps of course need to be done too.)

Ciao, Marcus

OBS, and if it's just for your own machine, include the dkms steps in the spec file. Keep the package locally. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

You will need to run

1. mkinitrd 2. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

to make the kernel bootable after installing the rpm.

Just after installing rpms, dracut do it automatically, don't it? Regards. --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "Bill! You married with Computer. Not with Me!" "No..., with money."

Er... it is customary to say to what post you are replying to, by including a line referencing the previous poster and the date, and a paragraph with some text from the previous poster - like I do above. I have looked back to August 2018 and I don't find any email with that subject line in this mail list to which you could be replying. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
