Source: linux Version: 5.3.7-1 Severity: normal User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/commit/82c843e1577930c4eb168f626ab9bd483b118efc seems to break DKMS on arm64: root@pinebook-kali:/usr/src# dkms autoinstall Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.
