Build Kata Containers Kernel

This document explains the steps to build a compatible kernel with Kata Containers. To do this use build-kernel.sh, this script automates the process to build a kernel for Kata Containers.

Setup kernel source code

./build-kernel.sh setup

The script ./build-kernel.sh tries to apply the patches from ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/packaging/kernel/patches/ when it sets up a kernel. If you want to add a source modification, add a patch on this directory.

The script also adds a kernel config file from ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/kata-containers/packaging/kernel/configs/ to .config in the kernel source code. You can modify it as needed.

Build the kernel

After the kernel source code is ready it is possible to build the kernel.

./build-kernel.sh build

Install the Kernel in the default path for Kata

Kata Containers uses some default path to search a kernel to boot. To install on this path, the following command will install it to the default Kata containers path.

./build-kernel.sh install
