I will add some details about modules building in next posts.

Few small tips:

I make mpv modules with packages from https://fruit.je/apt repo. It is quite smaller than debian repo version.

Kernel 6.10 in this build have problem with path i applied intel-nvme-remap from EndlessOS

Can not boot in configurations with Intel RST.

I will remove path, rebuild kernel, rebuild nvidia modules (because it depends of kernel modules), and upload new version in 3-5 days.
I will apply same patch to kernel 5.10 instead. Because i want to keep it for legacy 340xx nvidia driver.

UPD. I rebuild kernels and modules. But i want to test it first on real hardware for sure.

This patch for kernel 5.10. intel-nvme-remap I use it before for bullseye build.
This version works with 6.1 kernel. But i want to drop 6.1-amd64 kernel. And use 6.10 and 5.10 only.
5.10 is important to support legacy nvidia 340xx driver on notebooks with optimus.

Intel makes a problem. And not want to fix it. Affected some notebooks with Core i3 i5 i7 from 8th to 10th gen.

UPD2: Done. New version 2024.10.08 uploaded. Files changed:
