How to mainline kernel on daniel thompson's debian installer?

[KiteX3]

I've tried this repeatedly on and off for most of eight months now, and I've had no luck so far.

I'd just be happy to get the repeated graphics crashes that plague my Debian install fixed.

I would bet there is a (good) reason he is using that particular kernel.

I personally don't like to keep up with LKML, so I use Armbian instead and let them worry about all the low level details.  There are a lot of differences between ARM and x86 that you might not be aware of, even if you are an experienced GNU/Linux user.

I was under the impression that Armbian didn't even officially support their Pinebook Pro Ubuntu images; they don't even seem to build Debian images any more for the Pinebook Pro. I can't speak of the current stability of Armbian but I'm skeptical that they're pouring much attention on ensuring their distribution works well with the PBP.
