Proxmox Edge kernels
Custom Linux kernels for Proxmox VE 7 arm64
Building manually
You may also choose to manually build one of these kernels yourself.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have at least 10 GB of free space available and have the following packages installed:
apt install devscripts debhelper equivs git
Obtaining the source
Obtain the source code as follows:
git clone https://github.com/jiangcuo/pve-arm64-kernel/
cd pve-arm64-kernel
Then, select the branch of your likings (e.g. v6.0.x) and update the submodules:
git checkout v6.0.x
git submodule update --init --depth=1 --recursive linux
git submodule update --init --recursive
Building
First, generate the Debian control file for your kernel by running the following in your command prompt:
debian/rules debian/control
Before we build, make sure you have installed the build dependencies:
sudo mk-build-deps -i
Create your kernel_conf file,if your kernel config is /boot/config-5.10.167-edge,do
cat /boot/config-5.10.167-edge > debian/config/config.pve
Invoking the following command will build the kernel and its associated packages:
debuild -ePVE* --jobs=auto -b -uc -us
The Makefile provides several environmental variables to control:
PVE_KERNEL_CC
The compiler to use for the kernel build.PVE_KERNEL_CFLAGS
The compilation options to use for the kernel build. Use this variable to specify the optimization level or micro architecture to build for.
Kernel options may be controlled from debian/config/config.pve. To build with additional patches, you may add them to the debian/patches/pve directory and update the series file accordingly.
