Hi, In the kernel README file, it is written following commands to build kernel: make config

Use a prettier tool such as menuconfig or {x,g,k}config.

make sudo make modules_install install

Also, there are some other distro specific methods to build kernel such as make-kpkg. Does it matter which one of them is being used to build kernel? Should I stick to commands given in the README file or using distro specific utilities is OK too?

Using distro specific tools is OK. In my experience make-kpkg uses an existing .config, which means you can run make menuconfig, then use make-kpkg to build a distro specific package containing your kernel. Hope this helps, Vlad
