This is my recipe for building kernels from kernel.org tarballs on Debian Bookworm: sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep linux tar xzf linux-6.11-rc1.tar.gz cd linux-source-6.11-rc1 cp /boot/config-6.1.0-15-amd64 .config scripts/config --enable DEBUG_INFO_NONE scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT scripts/config --disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF scripts/config --disable SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM scripts/config --disable MODULE_SIG make olddefconfig make clean make bindeb-pkg Note that the upstream kernel source contains a build script for Debian packages. However, Debian has their own, different procedure for building development kernels: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official-vcs I've also tested with 6.11-rc1 now. Again, the Linux box was able to access the PowerBook's drive over Firewire. I was able to mount sdb10 as an hfsplus filesystem and see the contents. -- Adam |
