About
Pre Built Kernels provides prebuilt (precompiled) linux kernels for debian and ubuntu based distros (currently only for the x64 architecture). This allows you to quickly install the latest (or specific) kernels on those distros. These kernels are built with the sources from kernel.org and using the default debian "bookworm" 12 configuration*.

*Note: Kernel stack variable initialization is set to "no automatic stack variable initialization" so external DKMS modules can be built with older versions of Debian and Ubuntu.


The idea of this service is to provide an easy access to the latest kernels from kernel.org, which some users require for various reasons (updated drivers, new features etc). Those kernels should work with older Debian / Ubuntu based distros and some choice between long term support and bleeding edge kernels should be provided without the need for the users to compile them themselves.

The kernels here provided are automatically compiled with the (unmodified / original) sources provided by the Linux Kernel team from kernel.org or github.com/torvalds/linux (for mainline), therefore no testing is done on them and no warranty (of any kind) is provided to the users, regarding their use. All we do is to provide the building service. We recommend, as precaution, that you make a backup of your system before installing any of our built kernels.
