Kernel (Re) Compilation

[LipkeGu]

Dear Guys,

I have an HP Gen8 Microserver with XEON E3 CPU and 16Gig RAM. I need to apply a few Kernel patches but
Some things also needs to be deactivated or changed but where can i find the file which contains the kernel configuration
lines like CONFIG_AMT=Y? for example...


Thanks

Hi,
the configuration for the installed kernels should be in /boot/config-<kernel version>-pve.

Hey,
Thats for the installed Kernel. but when i compile the kernel, where is the configuration file in the git repo?

During build it's created from pre-existing default configs in the kernel submodule, see the Makefile

cat ${BUILD_DIR}/${KERNEL_SRC}/debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu ${BUILD_DIR}/${KERNEL_SRC}/debian.master/config/${ARCH}/config.common.${ARCH} ${BUILD_DIR}/${KERNEL_SRC}/debian.master/config/${ARCH}/config.flavour.generic > ${KERNEL_CFG_ORG}
cp ${KERNEL_CFG_ORG} ${BUILD_DIR}/${KERNEL_SRC}/.config

and then some PVE-specific stuff gets added on top
