why?  8) I did not see any post of working on new kernel releases on this forum :o
You pointed out to the 14.x release, also that is not mentioned anywhere  :o
I think this is the first succesful running of tinycore64 kernel 6.1.5 to my knowledge.

I maintain/administer tinycore machines, all are running on intel esxi hosts.
In the process i always make the kernel/modules/rootfs as small as possible for my specific setup.
(hate docker, tinycore does a better job after all)
Was happy so see my first try on 6.1.5 compiling and running #1 version  ;D

Managed to get 6.1.6 up and running.

I just published my (private) isobuilder on github.
Also included the used .config files for different kernels.

What it does is;

This is only for the people who know what thet are doing ...  8)
The used .config files are made minimal for my use, they contain a few modules, mostly externel kernel and for runnng in vmware/esxi
Best is to do the r option ( make menuconfig) and add all the stuff you need.

There are NO patches applied to the sources.
