|
|
Custom Linux kernels for Proxmox VE 7 arm64
|
|
|
|
#### Available Versions
|
|
1. Linux 6.0
|
|
|
|
Older builds are still available at the [Releases](https://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
[](https://cloudsmith.com)
|
|
|
|
First, set up our Debian repository on your Proxmox installation:
|
|
1. **Add the repository's GPG key:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/pve-edge/kernel/gpg.8EC01CCF309B98E7.key' | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/pve-edge-kernel.gpg
|
|
```
|
|
2. **Set up the `pve-edge-kernel` repository:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pve-edge-kernel.gpg] https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/pve-edge/kernel/deb/debian bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-edge-kernel.list
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Install a kernel package:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt update
|
|
apt install pve-kernel-6.0-edge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Package repository hosting is graciously provided by [Cloudsmith](https://cloudsmith.com).
|
|
Cloudsmith is the only fully hosted, cloud-native, universal package management solution, that
|
|
enables your organization to create, store and share packages in any format, to any place, with total
|
|
confidence.
|
|
|
|
### Manual
|
|
Alternatively, you may manually install the kernels. Select from the [Releases](https://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel/releases)
|
|
page the kernel version you want to install and download the appropriate Debian package.
|
|
Then, you can install the package as follows:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt install ./pve-kernel-VERSION_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt install devscripts debhelper equivs git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Obtaining the source
|
|
Obtain the source code as follows:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel
|
|
cd pve-edge-kernel
|
|
```
|
|
Then, select the branch of your likings (e.g. `v6.0.x`) and update the submodules:
|
|
```bash
|
|
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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
debian/rules debian/control
|
|
```
|
|
Before we build, make sure you have installed the build dependencies:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo mk-build-deps -i
|
|
```
|
|
merge your confile,if your kernel config is `/boot/config-5.10.167-edge`,do
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat /boot/config-5.10.167-edge >> debian/config/config.pve
|
|
```
|
|
Invoking the following command will build the kernel and its associated packages:
|
|
```bash
|
|
debuild -ePVE* --jobs=auto -b -uc -us
|
|
```
|
|
The Makefile provides several environmental variables to control:
|
|
|
|
1. `PVE_KERNEL_CC`
|
|
The compiler to use for the kernel build.
|
|
2. `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](debian/config/config.pve). To build with
|
|
additional patches, you may add them to the [debian/patches/pve](debian/patches/pve) directory
|
|
and update the [series](debian/patches/series.linux) file accordingly.
|
|
|
|
## Removal
|
|
Use `apt` to remove individual kernel packages from your system. If you want
|
|
to remove all packages from a particular kernel release, use the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt remove pve-kernel-6.0*edge pve-headers-6.0*edge
|
|
```
