            can we get some updated instructions in general? The repo on the first page doesnt seem to be the current one, and every build i do from the Current one doesnt seem to boot on my laptop.

              @Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.

                    Thanks, 11 debian booted. Because this is an old image.

                      @mainbord Debian 13 is also working, but no EXFAT support in the kernel, so it's a little bit inconvenient copying files (e.g. my Camera is using EXFAT) or making backups

                        @petersen77 i got around this with installing exfat-progs and exfatfuse i think, after installing i needed to create a symlink like this "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.exfat-fuse /sbin/mount.exfat"

                        https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607949/cannot-mount-exfat-even-installed-exfat-fuse-exfat-utils-in-kali-linux

                        but yeah being able to compile the kernel or have this and some other features (vpn, filesystem encryption) in the kernel from the beginning for example would be better

                              Use the following command to generate a deb file and then install it.

                              ./build-kernel.sh arm64

                                It was hard. Now it works but without wi-fi and sound

                                How to install mainline kernel 6.18?

                                  @george Can't finish the job. Btrfs module keeps sending an error when building the modules. The script doesn't finish.
