I was able to apply the .patch files and compile the mainline kernel v4.10.10 available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.10/ following the instructions available on the wiki and got as a result the desired .deb files, however I have not understood for sure how I can change the version string to a custom one, so that the packages and the kernel string in grub do not conflict With the same generic version already installed.

How can I make this change?

Where can I get more information about more options for this line below used to compile the kernel? 

fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch

Thank you for your attention, and sorry for any errors in my English.

  • I prefer to use the code directly from kernel.org and the git method. But it isn't much different to do similar from the tar.xz source file (which I see is now at 4.10.11) if you don't want to get into git. – Doug Smythies Apr 18 '17 at 14:02
  • @DougSmythies, I agree that getting the source directly from kernel.org is also very cool, but for the sake of learning I'm really keen to be able to modify a Kernel Mainline provided by Ubuntu, that by the way, I used Git to get the source from the Kernel.ubuntu.com.

    Anyway thanks for mentioning this other question at ask.ubuntu, I had seen it a few days ago and it helped me to understand some things.
