 +=== Raspberry Pi & alternate Kernel Fork: automated build system ===

 +To simplify building the Raspberry Pi Kernel fork, you should follow [[cstmz_kernel_rpi_selfbuild|this guide]].
 +
 +You can also use this guide to help get started using the script for building Slackware packages from alternate source repositories, which helps when Hardware Model vendors have yet to upstream their changes to the mainline Linux Kernel.

 +<note warning>The ''kernel.SlackBuild'' Kernel build system replaces /lib/modules/<Kernel version you're building>.  If the Kernel version number you're building is identical to the version of the running Kernel (use ''uname -r'' to check), you **must** reinstall the ''a/kernel-modules'' package belonging to your running Kernel.  If not your machine will most likely fail to boot properly, with the Kernel complaining about magic numbers being out of alignment when loading a variety of Kernel modules.</note>
