[SOLVED] Slackware64 and Kernels
by ccoffee from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MMSJ)
Could someone please explain to me the difference in Slackware Kernels such as "generic-5.15.145" and a kernel that is built from scratch (i.e. Kernel-5.15.145)?
Also, if I build a custom kernel from say 5.15.150, does this need an initrd like the
"generic-5.15.145" since "huge-5.15.145" does not?
Are the kernel modules built when I try and build a kernal from scratch since Slackware
kernel upgrades have a "modules-5.15.145" ?
Just trying to figure out the difference between the Slackware64 kernels and one that may
be build from the Linux Kernel.org site.
Thanks for any info, I have been unsuccessful in trying to get this off of google (I may not
be asking the question in the corret manner).
