Yes you can by changing the version here.
To be sure your rebuild it with the new version, can you try DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/clean syslinux DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/build syslinux
Thank you for your tests !
i tried to clean and rebuild same thing ā¦im compiling now with kernel version 4.4.46 ā¦the bad news is i had to remove a few patches in order to get it to build properly ā¦hopefully this works
Can you try to enter run ? Then It should boot to run mode.
do u mean when it says āboot:ā ? ive done that it just locks up 
Can you try to edit syslinux.cfg for run mode and append textmode if you can get to boot to a terminal. If it still doesnāt work, try to append debugging.
Just curious, what happens when you try to boot from USB again? Itās got the same specs as the Lattepanda I have and the LP is working now (as in, it doesnāt need its hand held by another machine in order for it to work LOL).
Iāve tried the things u asked @gouchi and it still just halts after typing run and appending text mode debugging does not work either @shockwave I just canāt get to the splash screen as it just shows a static cursor on the top left . What did you do to get it working on lattepanda? ā¦ I will try the new nightly shortly ā¦
Hereās what I did to get it working on Lattepanda:
Download the latest nightly from the LE batch of Lakka images: http://le.builds.lakka.tv/Generic.x86_64/Lakka-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170212225257-r25640-gc52c1c8.img.gz
Use Rufus to create the image: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6062-rufus.html
Once you do this, go to the LattePanda, and using a mouse/keyboard, connect the USB drive to the SBC and turn on your PC.
Tap F7 to boot to the BIOS menu and go to the Boot Drive Menu, and select the USB drive to boot from.
The LattePanda wil boot, but this is where I get the vesamenu.c32 error message. But with a blinking cursor after this message, I type ārunā, and hit the Enter key on my KB. This takes me to the Lakka boot process and flower.
Lakka boots from the USB and Iām up and running.
Note: When selecting the drive from the BIOS menu, do NOT select the UEFI USB drive. Select the one with the actual manufacturerās name of the drive on it because that will be the partition that has Lakka and the boot info on it!
the lattepanda must support non efi devices while my kangaroo only supports UEFI devices it only shows the efi boot device in boot menu ā¦
Iāll upload a pic of the boot menu on the Lattepanda to show you what Iām talking about when the boot drive screen pops up later on. Iām at work right now. Iāll try to do it over lunch.

The drive name is still attached even though the UEFI is in front.
Oh I see what u mean my drive shows up like that too though ā¦ I emailed the kangaroo devs they are trying to help me as well now
Can you try also to make a test with latest nightly as we removed the menu to avoid menu error with uefi boot.
Thank you.
ok so weird thing happened i emailed the kangaroo devs and they tried lakka on their test units and the regular 64bit efi builds booted no problem ā¦ i may have to send my kangaroo in to be looked at and tested ā¦ i will try the new nightly in a bit i already made the usb i will be sure to let you know what happens as soon as i know more
UPDATE! so the devs over at infocus the makers of the kangaroo have deemed mine defective and will be replacing my unit ! and they are gonna send it back with lakka preinstalled! should be here in a couple weeks ! thanks so much to all the support i got on here from @gouchi and @Shockwave you guys are awesome !
No problem, you are welcome.
Good to know it was a defective device.
