Hi and welcome to the forum

disclaimer I’ve never built a kernel on Manjaro and I probably never need to.

There is a [how to] specifically for Manjaro linked below that might provide some subtle differences and insight:

[HowTo] Build your very first custom kernel

Difficulty: ★★★★☆ If you compile your own custom kernel, you’re basically creating your own distro, so before you post any support questions here on the forum, please revert back to the Manjaro kernel first! To start, grab the Linux kernel source. Go ahead and head to kernel.org, and choose the kernel you want to compile. I’ll use the mainline kernel as an example, which is 5.11-rc2 at the time of writing this post. You can grab it with git clone or wget the download link to it if…

You are probably missing GPU drivers.

Thankyou for your reply

yeah ive read this guide before build(isnt the problem) and i think that the problem is the version of kernel that i installed from kernel dot org i tried 6.0 , 5.19.14 and now im trying the version that the manjaro actually uses 5.15 the problem is only the method that takes so long time to compile and build sheesh

Why do you compile your own kernel?

[Hanzel]

Just guessing here but does the build and boot work if you use the config in step 3?
eg running kernel config of your machine that evidently works.

im currently learning how to develop device drivers so im learning the kernel system too the main purpose is to provide hardware and software supports

[ukase]

should work but apparently isnt because of kernel version i guess
