Building a custom kernel in Manjaro Linux

By default kernels in Manjaro are built without support for AppArmor, Audit etc. After some research and reading Manjaro forums I came up with the following instruction on how to build and install your own kernel and overcome possible problems with network :)

During the instruction I use a native for Majnaro way to build a kernel i.e. with the use of its package manager. So let’s clone a skeleton of a package. For example, Linux 4.17

Then to overcome possible problems with network we need to clone a package for Realtek 8168 adapter — I’ve got the one and I had these issues.

We’ll use it a bit later. Now get back to the linux417 folder, modify the following configuration file:

Update the checksums:

Build the kernel package:

Install the kernel packages

After that don’t restart your PC, you need to build and install those r8168 module. So go to the corresponding folder and run

And then install the module

Now you can reboot your PC and enjoy the fresh kernel :)
