Sweet an updated kernel tutorial. Will try this tonight it's been a while since I have really worked with Linux to learn and not just use the machine. I will lost my results after the vid. I have always loved your videos man. Thank you for taming the time to help the community. It is very appreciated.

The music actually makes it harder to follow, you have a great speaking voice and you don't need the music or can turn it down.

I love your kernel vids, dude. I'm comfortable mucking around with the kernel, but I always forget the build order and dependencies. Your videos are one of my quick references, thanks!

[rainbowhat]

having great fun learning kernel sources great job man!

[KillroyWasHere]

Great video Lou. I was able to follow along and compile Kernel 3.10.7 today. Have you considered submitting your video to the Linux Foundation 100 Tutorial Videos Campaign. Your video looks like it would be a good fit there.

Thanks, awesome little program for presentations and videos

[TFHavingFun]

Great video. Looking forward to your graphical card driver compiling video...

Hey Lou.Nice video mate.could you please tell me on what make clean & make mrproper does? google'd it out.had no luck!

[doweeez]

Great tutorial. Compiled first kernel with bfs scheduler system seems more responsive than kernel from ubuntu kernel ppa. But I have strange issue on kernel 3.11 and 3.12.1 while transfering file to usb device computer starts to lag, even mouse cursor lags, computer becomes practically unusable. File copying works fine in 3.8.

You really should use 'make olddefconfig' or 'make silentoldconfig' after your .config file is in the new kernel directory. These options will take your old config file and add "new" added kernel options' recommended settings, otherwise you'll get a null value that can cause lots of issues. 'make olddefconfig' will add all new kernel recommended settings, while 'make silentoldconfig' will go through and ask you how you'd like to configure each added new option, while also showing the recommended status with a capital letter like so: [Y/n/m/?].

Hi
What is that application that gives you a nice big banner showing what you write in the command line across the entire screen?

[lukehanscom]

really great video the only trouble i had is not having openssl dev headers but other than that everything went very well

[Videoorchard]

Thank you so much for the reply.Okay i understood on what make does, it basically deletes all the object file's which were created during the make process! but i m not that clear with what you mean by "configuration" in the above context? do you mean the sys config?

[SethOmegaful]

If I never recompiled the kernel before like you, do I need to copy the config file to the linux directory like in 9:32 ?

Hey Lou, need your help here: I'm trying to install VirtualBox after installing my new custom kernel (fast as hell btw) and it simply cannot find/load vboxdrv. Started the usual process of googling but I'm hoping you can just point me in the right direction. Something about missing headers (which I installed already). Thanks.

[rajiiiv]

Thanks for great video. Just an update newer kernels directly support “make deb-pkg” instead of using ”make-kpkg”

[janusth]

Hey Lou could you offer advice - im stuck right on the last bit --initrd --
when i get here after entering the full line i get an error message
--initrd: command not found 
am i missing something ? any help would be greatly appreciated
great video by the way and well explained thanks

[nevillethomas]

P.S. the directory structure has changed that what i see from ls command !

[Nightfly]

Well done, but i have a question: I do not want to build an new kernel, i want to optimize my kernel. I need no driver for a ZIP drive and so on. How can i do it and what do i have to install ?
4.8.0-49-generic
Please excuse my bad English and many greetings from Germany

If you want to run an os super optimized for your hardware why not use gentoo it’s not bleeding edge you can make it bleeding or whatever you want that’s the great thing about gentoo
