Thank you Bruce for you answer. I built new kernel and then copied under boot directory and now everything works properly and I checked cat /proc/version, it says my kernel has 5.5 version. That's perfect. But I wonder, Why I do not need to Installation of Linux API Headers again? Like section 5.6 and 6.7.1 in the LFS book? In my opinion, I also need to run make headers command and copy this new kernel headers to /usr/include directory. What would you say?
