Arch Linux User Repository

The PKGBUILD supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
_use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
_localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
_use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is \compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug.

If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

Kernel has been updated and is now maintained again.

Thank you metak for creating this package in the first place.

Error installing repo packages

@btd1337 That's because OpenSUSE Build Service "support" for pgp-signed repositories is broken.

@metak Just adding the key, this error persists:

error: linux-clear: unsupported signature format
error: linux-clear-headers: unsupported signature format

It's necessary to add SigLevel = Never in order to error message disapear, but this is not a good practice.

@btd1337 You're supposed to download the key and then import it. It's all in the link in the pinned comment where it says 'Then, import the key.'

wget "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64/home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard.key"
pacman-key --add home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard.key

If you're still unable to import the key then just add SigLevel = Never before the Server = line for this repo in /etc/pacman.conf.

@Metak What's wrong?

@btd1337 I've disabled the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, because many users build modules and to just make it easier. Try 5.2.9-4.

@metak I have this error during boot:

Failed to start Load Kernel Modules - systemd-modules-load.service

My /boot/default/grub file contains:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 initcall_debug tsc=reliable no_timer_check noreplace-smp kvm-intel.nested=1 rootfstype=ext4,btrfs,xfs intel_iommu=igfx_off cryptomgr.notests rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1 rcu_nocbs=0-64 module.sig_unenforce rw"

module.sig_unenforce is as a second to last parameter. What am I doing wrong that step 3 doesn't work?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:

sudo vboxreload                                                                                                                                            ✔

SMBIOS messages are gone, thanks.

@btd1337 If you've already created $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/modprobed.db as per WIKI then you only have to set _localmodcfg=y. That's all.

What do this variable Pkgbuild, Line 57: _localmodcfg= needs?

Is this?

_localmodcfg=/home/myuser/.config/modprobed.db
