I just tried compiling 6.17.9 on Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (kernel 6.14.0-36-generic). It errors out make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'debian/canonical-certs.pem', needed by 'certs/x509_certificate_list'. Stop. And, I can't find the file on my system. All for naught...

Unnecessary since you already did the make oldconfig
Actually, this is central point. The NEW hardware most likely defaults to 'n'. Evan has to check that it is 'y' or 'm'.
I use "make olddefconfig" just to avoid all those questions about NEW parameters. There would be a lot, going from 6.14 to 6.17. Usually, I don't care, because I don't have all those hardwares. I can go directly to "make menuconfig", but the menu dialog hides messages that may or may not be relevant. So, I make sure "olddefconfig" passes without messages. Then, I go to "menuconfig" to adjust those NEW parameters, if what I need is different from the defaults.
After things are installed (to /boot and /lib/modules), Evan has to add to grub menu. It's been long time since I did that, so can't write off top of my head.
