[SOLVED] Need a bit of help building pve-kernel-5.15.83-1

[sarrchri]

Hi!

I made a fork of this and got the kernel to build, but for some reason it built "pve-kernel-6.1.0-1" and not "pve-kernel-5.15.83-1" which I had designated in "build_latest.sh".

Any idea what I did wrong? :D

Figured it out. Had to build my own docker container, publish it, then build the kernel.

In the first instance, I'd recommend that people always run the latest available kernel for security reasons!

If a specific version of the kernel is desired then you will need to add and execute a new script file which follows the approach in https://github.com/Aterfax/relax-intel-rmrr/blob/master/build/proxmox/build7.1-10.sh

i.e. :

• Correctly targeting your desired PVE kernel version via PVE_KERNEL_BRANCH as well as using the proxmox7.patch.
• The RELAX_PATCH should not be needed since this fork was amended to patch the required iommu source files using sed rather than patch.

You could then choose to run the build process on your Proxmox machine directly via the CLI or by building a new docker image that you then run where you choose.

If going down the docker image route, you will either need to change or override the entrypoint to run your modified build script rather than the latest available. See the bottom of: https://github.com/Aterfax/relax-intel-rmrr/tree/master/build/proxmox#how-to-do-it-with-docker

I will also highlight where possible, you can avoid having to compile yourselves if the version you need is already available as an older release: https://github.com/Aterfax/relax-intel-rmrr/releases
