Hello, welcome to the second post about DSL26's tutorials!
In this tutorial, the premise was to compile the kernel using cross-compilation for the ARM architecture, and booting this custom kernel in a VM.
In order to reduce build time, in Tutorial 1 we got the vm_mod_list file to make a minimal set of modules for compilation. Also, for the append to kernel release option, I went with softwarelivre26.
It went pretty well, with almost no errors. During the proccess I've madesome silly mistakes, such as forgetting to install modules inside the VM, using make ... modules_install. But other than that, it went smoothly.
