Creating a custom kernel

Hello, I want to make an custom kernel for my pc, but I need instruction.

Currently, I am compiling the kernel. I am taking the Traditional compilation approach (as in the wiki). I am using a Mainline kernel.org kernel.
I want to know how to install the new kernel and make an initramfs.

Re: Creating a custom kernel

Did something go wrong when you followed Traditional_compilation#Installation?

Take PKGBUILD of the linux package, customize it: change pkgbase and pkgver suffix, update config and build the package. Then you can install it like any other linux-* package, initramfs will be generated automatically. You can have multiple kernels installed.
