Upgrading to Linux Kernel 4.11

    Hey guys,

    i am using LE 8.0.1 on an Apollo Lake basis (ASRock J4205-ITX) and i am experiencing the random crashes/restarts of Kodi (just Kodi and not the whole LE OS) as mentioned in this thread:

    thread-3636.html

    I narrowed the issue down to the Intel GPU drivers. Therefore my question if and how is it possible to upgrade to the most recent Linux Kernel 4.11 because i am assuming that it could potentially fix the random Kodi restarts on Apollo Lake. Is it easy to do? If so how?

    Thank you very much guys for any support on this topic!

    To be honest, I have no idea how to update the Kernel within LE.
    But for testing, just install an up to date linux distro like openSUSE thumbleweed or Fedora rawhide and then install KODI.
    It's maybe worth to test it.

    It's not that urgent! If the sytem is under load while watching tv or a movie it rarely crashes. It crashes more often while the system is idling.

    I will simply wait for a regulard update of LE with a more recent kernel to see if that solves the issue.
