Linux Kernel compilation "new" guide

Hello dear Porteus Users,

I am back to the Forum asking for a question: is there a new (updated) guide to follow in order to compile the Linux Kernel in Porteus?
I have a script that automatize all the commands, but something has changed in these last years and I missed a lot of updated in the kernel tree..... :x
I would like to see the commands for these points:

1. Understand what happened with the firmware tree;
2. Apply the required AUFS4 patch to the kernel source code --> I tried the latest one but at the reboot (with the new kernel module and vmlinuz image, there is a issue with aufs)
3. make firmare_install --> firmware installation will fail, of course
4. Ramdisk --> Do I need to update the image like old times?

I hope to get assistance, thank you in advance!

"I have a script that automatize all the commands"

I uploaded a "kernel build" tool that may be same as yours.
Please refer to the thread Porteus Kernel Builder

The current version of the tool is "mkKernel-18.11.05-noarch-1.xzm".
It is constructed with shell scripts.
It might give your question's answer.

Thanks.

Hi neko!
Thank you for the answer.
I managed to compile, install and create new modules properly of the Linux Kernel 4.19.1 but..... There is a bug on the touchpanel. This was the issue. I hope that the new revision will solve this problem. I will try your script, thank you agin!
