Am trying to upgrade to 4.11 kernel, and would like to be able tp upgrade to every mainline stable kernel as I have before on the kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ site. There are no clear guides on how to do this, every guide points to kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ which is abandoned. All the guides to compiling custom kernels are out of date . So Where is a working alternative to kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ?

  • I use this method. I used the Ubuntu kernel 4.11-rc8 kernel configuration file. – Doug Smythies May 03 '17 at 06:35
  • I cant get 4.11rc8 to work. its on kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ however I tried the method you linked to twice and it didnt work with 4.11 . I cant tell if it was because of 4.11 or if I had an error in configuring it, or if it is too out of date. Additionally the patches in the end, are they required? – AntiNSA May 03 '17 at 16:01
  • I do not apply any patches to the mainline kernel. The procedure I use still works for me. – Doug Smythies May 08 '17 at 00:51

Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer is your answer!

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mainline

Then after installing you can either use the GUI or the command-line if you're scripting automation.

Details and documentation here... https://github.com/bkw777/mainline
