+### Kernel downgrade
+
+By default we install newest `linux` and `linux-headers` packages into a `chroot`. Once we're in that `chroot` we then install newest [AUR zfs-dkms package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms). You may want to override `linux` and `linux-headers` versions to ensure you end up with a compatible mix between them and `zfs-dkms`.
+
+For example:
+```
+export ARCHZBM_KERNEL_VER=6.5.9.arch2
+```
+
+In our `chroot` this will trigger execution of:
+```
+downgrade --ala-only 'linux=6.5.9.arch2' 'linux-headers=6.5.9.arch2' --ignore always
+```
+
+Where `downgrade` is the [AUR downgrade package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade). This will downgrade `linux` and `linux-headers` and will add a setting to your `/etc/pacman.conf`:
+```
+[options]
+IgnorePkg = linux linux-headers
+```
+
+Setting `ARCHZBM_KERNEL_VER` to an empty string `''` or keeping it undefined are both valid and will retain newest versions instead of downgrading.
+
+Also read [Kernel selection](#kernel-selection) for details.

 ### Compression
 
 By default we create a zpool with ZFS property `compression=on`. If the `lz4_compress` pool feature is active this will by default enable `compression=lz4`. See `man 7 zfsprops` for example in ZFS 2.1.9 for details. See `zpool get feature@lz4_compress <pool>` to check this feature's status on your `<pool>`.

 #### SSH
 
 If you want networking indicated by the fact that at least one of the `ARCHZBM_NET_*` variables is set or one of the `ARCHZBM_SSH_*` vars we assume that you want an SSH daemon as well.

 This syntax crutch allows you to use the full range of Dropbear-supported `authorized_keys` stanzas, see [man 8 dropbear](https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/dropbear/dropbear.8.en) for what's available. Whether or not this is useful to you is another topic :) At least the functionality for stanzas is there by separating values in `ARCHZBM_SSH_AUTH_KEYS` with double-commas.

+# Kernel selection
+
+This script compiles ZFS via Arch Linux' [Dynamic Kernel Module Support](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support) (DKMS). Not all kernels allow for successful compilation, in some instances a particularly recent kernel version may change APIs to such a degree that ZFS compilation simply fails.
+
+We strongly suggest to that you:
+
+- Firstly, refer to a resource such as the [Arch Linux Archive package version list](https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux/) to find out what newest kernel version this script will install.
+- Secondly, research if newest [AUR zfs-dkms package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms) is compatible with that kernel. Two reasonable points of contact are AUR and its comments section for `zfs-dkms` where users quickly report issues; and the [github.com/openzfs/zfs issues list](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues).
+
+An example for this is that `linux-6.6.1.arch1-1-x86_64` came out on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at a time when newest `zfs-dkms` package version [was 2.2.0](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=zfs-dkms&id=da1b6372c57b16f2781a7fda2b95971bb392c5ee) which did not compile against `linux` 6.6.x.
+
+You'd then set for example:
+```
+export ARCHZBM_KERNEL_VER=6.5.9.arch2
+```
+
+Where any 6.5.x version is known to work well with `zfs-dkms`. See also [Kernel downgrade](#kernel-downgrade) for details on how to configure this.
