Hi Stan,
thank you so much!
I followed your guide and was able to complete my first kernel compile. That said, now I
have developed a number of questions with respect to what I am trying to accomplish with
these kernel compiles.
I would like to accomplish a number of things:
1. apply the patch to the kenel (which I am able to do now) while preserving the
prioprietory NVIDIA driver installation. Is this possible or would I have to re-install
and re-compile the drivers?
2. Can you tell me what will happen with respect to kernel updates post installation.
Particularly as it relates to the NVIDIA drivers? Can I keep running dnf updates or would
I have to prevent kernel updates some how?
3. After the compilation completes I find the following kernel-* files in
/home/user0/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 which is great. But is there any way to avoid compiling
the "debug" versions? I am trying "rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec" at the
moment.
