Build Kernel Ubuntu 22.10 – Step-by-step

Configuring

3. 3. Downloading Linux Kernel

   Download Linux Kernel Source Code for Ubuntu GNU/Linux

   Here Linux Kernel tar.xz Archive

   Link to Download Linux Kernel Source Code Archive for Ubuntu

   Grab the tar.xz or tar.gz Archive from the List.

4. 4. Extracting Linux Kernel Archive

   Then Extract Linux Kernel into /tmp Directory
   First, access the Target:

   Copy

   cd ~/kernel

   Then to untar the downloaded Kernel Source into the current Folder run:

   Copy

   tar -xafv ~/Downloads/linux-source*.tar.xz

5. 5. Configuring Kernel

   So now to Configure Ubuntu Linux Custom Kernel
   First, access the Kernel Source with::

   Copy

   cd linux*

   Then copy the current Configuration File into the New Kernel Source:

   Copy

   sudo find /boot/ \( -iname "*config*" -a -iname "*`uname -r`*" \) -exec cp -i -t ./ {} \;

   Copy

   mv *`uname -r`* .config

   This mystics because the default Configuration File may have a variable composition including “config” and the Kernel Version.
   In case of a Chrooted System instead you may look up the available Kernels with:

   Copy

   ls /boot | grep config

   The grep Command refine the output List showing only the entries Matching the Keyword.
   Again fix the Configuration File editing it with nano and commenting out like:

   Copy

   sudo nano .config

   Use Ctrl+w to search for “CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS” on nano.
   And comment out the Line like:

   Copy

   #CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS

   Or else try to Set it like:

   Copy

   CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS=""

   Ctrl+x to Save & Exit.
   Else to reconfigure the Kernel use:

   Copy

   sudo make menuconfig
