I'd recommend getting to know your hardware before doing this. Otherwise you simply wouldn't understand the options....i but feel free to experiment....i remember creating quite a few broken kernels before i managed to make one that worked. Also as @gyaradong mentions there used to be a nice curses TUI to set the options, look for it
Question: How do I compile the Linux kernel? — By which I mean, what compiler flags, options and configs should I look out for, such that my kernel will actually succesfully run? I am talking about QEMU without KVM as the platform.
