[Errors] Multiples Errors whens installing reconfigured kernel because of dkms intend to patch with nvidia driver.

[MegsOconnor]

Hi,

hello, I have recently installed a kubuntu 23.x after numerous setbacks and problems with wubuntu, debian, to try to obtain both a kernel 6.5 minimum for the detection of my thrustmasters and an nvidia driver for my rtx 2070 super . With this version I hit the jackpot, thank you for your work guys. As I am struggling I also want to have my cores configured with SMP and a Core2/xeon type (i9 9900k x8/x16, to play also flight sim. and maybe making a bit of work...a little bit...yearhh okay...less than it...), and adding some of minor good stuff for a bi system machine. my final objective is to obtain a game machine for playing. they is lots of work to do. in fact, at this time, i see too more problems and personal data security issues in windows. I want to try avoid it definitively. may be it is the time to do this with this distrib.
but i never build a kernel at this new fashion( 9 years ago ... don't laugth...). And when i have problem i am lost to perform corrections.

UC: i9 9900k / AORUS Z390 elite / 32Gram / RTX 2070 super /nvme/ssd/ uname 6.5.0-17-generic

- downloaded sources linux-6.5.0 folder with linux-image-6.5.0.17.

if you think it would be better i'am listening to you...

-Compiling it correctly. but it seems to compile it with 6.5.8 suffix instead of 0.
-installing modules work perfectly
- make install hurt me, i loose some teeth in the war...:

so now there is a big mess in /boot:

my poor tooths. I want to take the original kernel, and apply install of non free package as dkms want, and finaly retrieve a linux-image-6.5.0-17-i9 adapted to my motocyclette.

could you tell me please where i have made a mistake, and if you can explain why ?
thanks in advance.

Just a notice: the most recent kernel for 23.10 is 6.5.0-21-generic.

i do not choose suffix but i said " -Compiling it correctly. but it seems to compile it with 6.5.(8) suffix instead of (0)".
