@george on git checkout i get the error pathspec did not match any files known to git

compiling leads to error cannot stat arch/arm/amr64/boot/image

jask

@Momo-0 I just met this problem, and it was caused by previous job not finishing. https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/1/8/549, I met this problem, and swapped argument, then it compiles

@george can we please get a precompiled image to install that has exfat and wireguard and filesytem encryption modules built in? is there a reason the provided images dont contain these features?

I tested sound, microphone, wi-fi, usb-c charging, hdmi, usb mouse and usb ethernet with usb-c, touchpad, LCD, LEDs, turn off functionality, mesa acceleration, 3d aceleration, 4k playback.
Games: 0.A.d., xonotic, Superttux kart, quake, Fheroes and other.

It's all works.

And here is full version with verndor 6.1.115 kernel

But i think mainline kernel is more interesting;

@mainbord i tested your version with the edge kernel and i found that the laptop doesnt turn off the display when the lid is closed, and after enabling suspend it doesnt seem to work, laptop doesnt come back from sleep, does that track with what youve seen?

Looking for ways to fix these problems
