Hey @yaroze,

I a have been using the 4.14 kernel on the C201 for a couple weeks now and it's been stable. Another user reported the 4.16 kernel working but I have not tested it myself. I ran into a few extra snags compiling the 4.16 kernel which I haven't worked through yet, though I haven't spent time on it in a week or to because man compiling is slow on the C201.

My plan is to finish compiling the 4.16 kernel and also test the new 4.18 kernel.

You can downgrade from mainline to the 3.14 kernel simply by reversing the 4.14 to mainline steps in the guide. In my experience it's always good to have ChromeOS bootable as well in case it doesn't boot for some reason. At least then you can chroot in, install the old kernel packages, and dd the kernel image to the boot partition.

Just confirmed that "linux-armv7-4.16.13-1" is working on the C201 and the latest 4.18 kernel is not working. Seems like something broke in 4.17 and has not been fixed yet. I'm not sure how to figure out what is broken or how to fix it from here so I'll be sticking with 4.16.

I didn't know how to debug these boot issues myself but after lots of searching I finally found someone else writing patches specifically for the Asus C201 board. This author is currently maintaining a PKGBUILD for the 4.18 kernel. https://github.com/urjaman/arch-c201/tr ... linux-c201

Just compiled it today and it boots for me. So far no issues but I haven't tested everything out, like HDMI and overall stability. Will post any further findings here.
