Arch Linux User Repository

The PKGBUILD file supports a few different configurable build-time options:

• _makenconfig Tweak kernel options prior to a build via nconfig. Pseudo-graphical menu based on ncurses. 1 2
• _localmodcfg Only compile active modules to VASTLY reduce the number of modules built and the build time.
• Please read arch wiki page for detailed explanation on how to use it.
• _subarch Enable additional optimization/tuning for kernel builds by adding more micro-architectures options. Default is Generic-x86-64 number 36 if nothing else is selected.
• PKGBUILD file with the list of architectures
• graysky kernel_compiler_patch
• _use_current Use the current kernel's .config file. Enabling this option will use the .config of the RUNNING kernel rather than the ARCH defaults. Useful when the package gets updated and you already went through the trouble of customizing your config options. NOT recommended when a new kernel is released, but again, convenient for package bumps.
• _use_llvm_lto Compile the kernel with LLVM/Clang.
• _debug Enable y some additional debug features present in arch kernel, but not in Clear upstream. n to force disable or leave empty to ignore.

Lastly, build the kernel by setting your environment variable env _subarch=40 _localmodcfg=y.

1. Binaries available in my repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64/

[home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/$arch

THIS IS OPTIONAL:

2. After install adjust your boot cmd line. ClearLinux uses clr-boot-manager which takes care of that. This is upstream default:

quiet console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 cryptomgr.notests initcall_debug intel_iommu=igfx_off kvm-intel.nested=1 no_timer_check noreplace-smp page_alloc.shuffle=1 rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1 rootfstype=ext4,btrfs,xfs,f2fs tsc=reliable rw 

please add support for -march=znver3

I also do not have any xf86-video installed, only nvidia-dkms drivers. I assume your main problem is the missing drm module. Which graphics driver do you want to use?

Is anyone able to help?

When library xf86-video-intel isn't installed, Kernel Clear with Gnome won't starts GDM.

In the kernel LTS the system works normally without xf86-video-intel

PS: xf86-video-intel causes screen sharing and recording errors so I shouldn't be using it.

@adsoncicilioti Does this help? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee#Fatal_IO_error_11_(Resource_temporarily_unavailable)_on_X_server

@Ryaniskira Not really. If something depends on 'linux' that means it depends on default arch kernel package linux'. If you're building module then you should use dkms. What's the package you're installing?

Can you update the PKGBUILD so that this package provides Linux? As it stands if you want to just use this kernel and you have a package that depends on Linux, you have to also have another kernel installed as a dependency.

@metak, Hi.

After latests updates the GDM are in loop after try login.

This behavior begin after 5.9.10 update and nvidia-455.45.

I can login after restarts GDM service from an TTY#.

Any idea ?

See this:

@Khaithang Hi. It's just a git repository that you can clone manually or use any of the aur helpers to install & update afterwards.

can i track this pkgbuild via asp/abs or some other tools?

@adsoncicilioti As @fidasx said by default this PKGBUILD is set for gcc to detect and build native optimization, but for your CPU you can set 25 skylake if you don't want native.

@adsoncicilioti just choose 33 Native optimizations autodetected by GCC. it will build for your specific CPU
