I do not know about the debian kernel, but I download the kernel source from kernel.org. I copy the config and do make oldconfig ... there are questions to be answered regarding newer modules or functionality. Finally I do make deb-pkg -j4. The -j4 is to let make use my 4 CPUs. Few minutes later I have a new kernel. The advantage is that I enable only drivers that I need and I have a recent kernel. Disadvantage is that it needs testing. Meanwhile I optimized a config for all machine types around and I upgrade only if there are bugs fixed for those machines architecture. For your problem though you can try $ apt source linux-image-$(uname -r) $ cd linux-4.9.144 $ debuild -uc -us -b -j4 regards
