      @mainbord for me currently only the Debian image works

      Thanks, 11 debian booted. Because this is an old image.

        @mainbord Debian 13 is also working, but no EXFAT support in the kernel, so it's a little bit inconvenient copying files (e.g. my Camera is using EXFAT) or making backups

          @petersen77 i got around this with installing exfat-progs and exfatfuse i think, after installing i needed to create a symlink like this "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.exfat-fuse /sbin/mount.exfat"

          https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607949/cannot-mount-exfat-even-installed-exfat-fuse-exfat-utils-in-kali-linux

          but yeah being able to compile the kernel or have this and some other features (vpn, filesystem encryption) in the kernel from the beginning for example would be better

                Use the following command to generate a deb file and then install it.

                ./build-kernel.sh arm64

                  It was hard. Now it works but without wi-fi and sound

                  How to install mainline kernel 6.18?

                    @george Can't finish the job. Btrfs module keeps sending an error when building the modules. The script doesn't finish.

                        @mainbord same here, sadly Armbian isnt booting or else i would already be using it instead of the supplied distros

                          The official default configuration of ARMBIN's loadaddr and optee conflicts and needs to be modified to 0x200000

                            @george is this true even for the community made Genbook build?
