Build 1.2.8 iso with local packages

General questions
1

I have tried several times, but since the package/linux-kernel/patches/kernel is not for 4.19.195 which is default on 1.2.8. It failed at kernel compiling if I use 4.19.195.
If I switch kernel to 4.19.139 which is required by patches. When building iso, script will still download 4.19.195 from repo.

How can I add a kernel module which I need for iptables. Thanks.

Hi @debiansid, check out Build VyOS — VyOS 1.3.x (equuleus) documentation

I am sure I followed every step over there.

kernel patch is for 4.19.139, so patching will fail if I try to build 4.19.195.
once I build deb of 4.19.139 and put into /vyos-build/packages/, building iso will still try to download 4.19.195 despite of that I set it to 4.19.139 in /data/defaults.json.

so it will never success . please help me.

Hi debiansid!

You need to manually update the data/defaults.json file with the kernel version you have built, or else it tries to install both your custom kernel and the one defined in data/defaults.json

Yeah. I changed version in that file already

You also need to rebuild all packages for your new kernel version like QAT, Intel drivers, Accel-PPP, WireGuard and place them in the packages folder.
