I noticed that the kernel is from a repository, and it's 5.8.
I want to install the lastest(5.10 in bullseye), mainline kernel.
Installing `linux-image-5.10-x-arm64` or something like that, and rebooting my system showed black screen.
How can i properly switch kernel on it?
I upgraded Daniel Thompson's Debian to 11 and 12.
Now that he does not support his 5.5 and 5.7 kernels anymore, I wanted to move to a vanilla Debian kernel by installing linux-image-arm64 (6.1.0)
Just like OP's kernel, that kernel just does not boot. The screen remains black.
I can change the default boot label to 5.7 in extlinux.conf and Debian boots successful. So, installing linux-image-arm64 did not mess around with my invisible u-boot partition and alike.

I don't have a console cable and can't learn where the boot process hangs. I though I read that Debian supports the Pinebook Pro and so I expect to get the Debian kernel running with little hassle. So, how have any of you successfully upgraded Daniel Thompson's kernel?
Did you ever get this resolved. I've been debating on upgrading my Daniel Thompson Debian, but have yet done so.
