I built mainline 5.3.0-rc6 in the following way: $ make distclean $ make localmodconfig $ scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO $ make -j5 bindeb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-mainline
while running linux-image-5.0.0-trunk-amd64_5.0.2-1~exp1. I was able to successfully boot this kernel. Since my previous attempt to build 5.0.0 using the config from the current Debian 5.2 kernel also wouldn't boot, it probably means that some new config option that Debian is using for 5.2, not used (but available) in 5.0 causes my machine problems. Happy to help find this issue. But I wouldn't know where to start (other than a diff of /boot/config-5.2.0-2-amd64 and /boot/config-5.0.0-trunk-amd64). -- David Purton e: dcpur...@marshwiggle.net m: 0413 626 862
