[Der Geist der Maschine]

Never patched a kernel before.
Will you point me to a tutorial or howto?

Compiling the kernel for the Pinebook Pro is, ehm, different than what one would expect. My Pinebook Pro review has a section on compiling the kernel (click on the website icon below).

My tutorial assumes you know what you are doing and omits certain steps such as how to apply a patch, the need to remount /boot writeable before installing the kernel or pointing out to ensure /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf points to the right kernel and device tree.

It's perhaps a good idea you know how to recover from an unbootable eMMC card (boot Linux from SD and fix/undo things in the /boot directory of the eMMC card).
