I am using lineage os 17.1, which uses the 5.8.0 linux kernel, but the kernel I compiled with the surface driver does not boot.

I know there must have been people who tried it and thought it would be easy but it was hard. You just have to ask HMTheBoy154 to build the kernel because he knows better.

Your context and title doesn't match.....

Although if you prefer the easy route you can either directly install this gearlock package or compile it from source (source code is available, check resource info)

GearLock-Package - Android-x86 kernel for Microsoft Surface, based on linux-surface patches

There are a lot of people asking about Microsoft Surface support for Android-x86 OSes like PhoenixOS Darkmatter or BlissOS. So I decided to compile some separate version for them, using patches from linux-surface team. There are 2 version I ported so far : benares (4.19.x) and pledge (5.10.x)...

You cannot use linux kernel config for android, you need to have an android config, grab existing config from booted android with zcat /proc/config.gz > /sdcard/.config

The process of building a kernel for android x86 is essentially the same as compiling Linux kernel for a GNU/Linux distro, there are lots of tutorials for that. Except you will have to use make android-x86_64_defconfig instead of make defconfig.
Do note that this step will only work with kernels that include Android-x86 patches. Android x86 config in arch/x86/configs/android-x86_64_defconfig
I have compiled kernels 5.15 (LTS), 5.16, 5.18 from source and used them successfully.

How to Compile a Linux Kernel - Linux.com

Once upon a time the idea of upgrading the Linux kernel sent fear through the hearts of many a user. Back then, the process of upgrading the kernel involved a lot of steps and even more time. Now, installing a new kernel can be easily handled with package managers like apt. With the addition of …
