So I know now that I have to live with it for now.
Building the kernel myself is not a option for me for now.
Maybe it will be patched in a future mainline kernel.


<- That was me a few weeks ago.
Now I've read al litte, tried a little, and finaly compiled a new kernell (on my destop, not on PBP).
So i feel prepeared to try it with megi's kernel.

But i didn't find a propper Tutorial yet. Yes, there are many how to build and install al kernel from linus git-repo. But megi's seams to be a little different. Huh 

I Found a already ready to Use Kernel (https://xff.cz/kernels/6.4/pbp.tar.gz) at megis current site. But the Readme isn't very exact.

Code:
Pre-built Linux 6.4 kernel for Pinebook Pro
=======================================================

How to use this
---------------

1a) Copy the kernel Image and board.dtb to a boot partition (put them in a
    subdirectory if you want)
1b) Alternatively use board.itb which combines Image and board.dtb into
    a single file.
2) Point extlinux.conf or boot.scr to these files
3) Copy modules/lib/modules to /lib directory in your root filesystem
4) Reboot

Does anyone have a little more exact guide on how to run megis kernel?
