Kernel Maintenance By a Novice.
Kernel Maintenance By a Novice.
been using Arch for years but i am still a novice, yesterday i had found that in order for something to work on my system i will need to edit a few lines in kernel which i did, then removed unnecessary modules > intel, > nvidia, compiled. it worked great but with Arch and its rolling release i am dreading the next update and having to go through this again.
what methods are there to automate this process?
What modifications were required? The good part of a rolling release is that upstreaming things means you only have to deal with manual fixes for like 2 or 3 updates.
set
LINK_TRAINING_ATTEMPTSfrom5to10in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/link_dpms.c and setLINK_TRAINING_RETRY_DELAYfrom50to100in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/protocols/link_dp_training.c.i doubt this will be added to kernel as its a fix for an issue that isn't wide spread.
This is the perfect use case for gentoo, there is a documented process for adding kernel patches and saving a kernel build configuration
Although I haven't used Arch for a long time, I guess https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel#Compilation and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel/Arch_build_system will work.
