Just be aware that this will never be removed by dnf updates. Im not sure how it adds an entry for GRUB2 but it wont boot with secure boot either. If you really want a new kernel on your Production machine, use
fedpkg
I was working on a video about the features of Linux Kernel 7.0, including quantum-safe ML-DSA and BPF io_uring. In the process, I ended up compiling and installing Linux 7.0.0 on my Fedora 43. I thought you might enjoy experimenting with it as well (be careful please :D)
These are the easy steps:
- install prerequisite:
sudo dnf install ncurses-devel elfutils-libelf-devel openssl-devel rpm-build flex bison - download the latest kernel from kernel.org
- extract using
untar xfand enter the directory - make sure your directory is clean
make mrproper - copy your current configs by
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config - update your config using
make oldconfig - view the .config or even edit it via
make menuconfig - build :D
make -j$(nproc)#may take long - Install the modules with
sudo make modules_install - and install the kernel & configure the grub with
sudo make install - Reboot and have fun watching your
uname -a
For me it went super smooth. If anything fails you should be able to use your older kernel and be cautious about your steps... you are fiddling with the Kernel :D
