I can provide you the vmlinuz and uInitrd 5.10.43, if that helps. You should be able to put them on your SD card. Don't know of the newer userland can handle that old kernel, but at least you should be able to see the kernel log, to rule out hardware or u-boot problems.

I simply don't need or want a desktop or anything with icons. I do use a few things on occasion that have toolbars like libre office or krita, gimp, ink scape, and kicad. But otherwise I have no use for all that mess of desktop window management and mousing. Xfce is ok for a half day of installing stuff. But otherwise I have no use for that stuff.

A bad news, I am not good at customizing armbian dts, and I don't know how to apply it to the x98h compilation project. Can anyone help me? @going @Nick A
