OrangePi doesn't want to boot with vanilla kernel

I've got an OrangePi based on the Rockchip RK3399. The official OrangePi Debian version I'm using is Armbian-based I believe and uses a 5.10 kernel. I want to upgrade the kernel as later ones support some video features of the RK3399 I want to use. The problem is, if I build the kernel using the standard vanilla method from kernel.org sources even using the same config file from the running kernel without changing anything (make olddefconfig), the device won't boot when I symlink the new kernel to /boot/Image. Interestingly, it does boot if I symlink the new initrd to /boot/uInitrd, but only with the old kernel.

 

Is there something special I need to do to the kernel that Armbian expects? Are there required secure keys or anything that u-boot expects that aren't in my new kernel? I thought the problem might be missing kernel patches, but as far as I know RK3399 support is mainlined already, so new kernels should support it.

 

Any help is appreciated!
