Maybe it is in those guides, but the biggest problem with make menuconfig is the vast number of choices when starting from scratch. If you are satisfied with an otherwise generic kernel, use /boot/config-xxx as a template. I should have mentioned that in my private message. If you do clone the stable kernel, it is probably a good idea to make htmldocs as in the top level README. What you are not told is that the results appear in the Documentation/output/ directory. Caveat: it is a long time since I compiled a kernel, so some of this may be dated. ael ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Seems to be 5.16.0 with updates for 5.17 in progress as of this evening. ael ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

It happens as a result of the Depends: for linux-image-amd64. These are updated to point to the latest linux-image-x.y.z-n-amd64 package. Take a look at apt show linux-image-amd64 | grep Depends: and enlighten yourself :-) Hope this helps, -- Olaf MeeuwissenFSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Softwarehttps://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
