      can we get some updated instructions in general? The repo on the first page doesnt seem to be the current one, and every build i do from the Current one doesnt seem to boot on my laptop.

        @Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.

              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

                      I boot from ubuntu 24.04 hdmi and usb 2.0 works. Usbc wi-fi and lcd do not work. This image not for laptop. Latest kernel source not for laptop too.

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

                        ./build-kernel.sh arm64
