Building custom Linux kernel (howto)

Just summarizing what I did to build my own custom Debian Linux kernel. As I needed a few modules which where not shipped in the standard Debian kernel. All is based on this tutorial which I ran on a Debian 8.6 with 3.16 kernel. Make sure you're root.

mkdir /root/custom-kernel
cd /root/custom-kernel
apt-get install fakeroot linux-source-3.16 kernel-package libncurses5-dev
tar xf /usr/src/linux-source-3.16.tar.xz
cd linux-source-3.16
make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=001
dpkg -i linux-image-3.16.39_001_i386.deb
shutdown -r now
