But now I am a little clueless: how do I install this kernel? Any hint?

It should have produced one or more .deb files and you can install a .deb file
like this: `apt install ./<name-of-debfile>.deb`
If you share the output of `ls -lh *.deb` (and/or `ls -lh ../*.deb`) then I
can probably give you more precise instructions.

Sorry, my fault. I searched for .deb files in the subdirectory when I thought I searched the home directory. I am familiar with installing a .deb file.

So we have:

~/Patches$ l *.deb

I gave it a shot and ran

# apt install /home/olaf/Patches/*.deb

Result:

# aptitude search linux-image | grep ^i
i  linux-image-6.1.0-0.a.test-amd64-unsigned - Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs
i A linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64 - Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
i  linux-image-6.1.0-9-amd64 - Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
i  linux-image-amd64 - Linux für 64-Bit-PCs (Metapaket)
i  linux-image-amd64-signed-template - Template for signed linux-image packages for amd64

Booted in the new kernel.

# uname -r
6.1.0-0.a.test-amd64

Graphics works now.

I guess I am supposed to build some more kernels with subsets of patches? Any hint where to start?

Cheers,
Olaf
