hi gang

so I’ve been working on this fully arm based homelab project and one of the things I decided to do is compile myself a Linux kernel with specific adjustments that suit my needs after building my own dtb.

I kept running into errors and went into the troubleshooting rabbit hole for 3 days to no avail until I decided to try it In a different distro (Ubuntu) and it just worked?!

I know I’m being very vague here but I’m curious if anyone faced a similar issue like this and I’d love to hear why

    Look into the Gentoo Arm handbook… Since Gentoo builds everything from sources, you should find good pointers for the kernel that should be applicable to other sisters as well

        To add on that I’d look up if there are such thing as kernel seeds for ARM. Back in the day when I got started with Gentoo I managed to find my way compiling the kernel with “pappy’s seeds”
