  I poked around in the boot partition. The kernel is ancient!
  Linux version 3.18.71-perf-gaf770dc

    The oldest supported kernel is 5.10 and that loses support in December. That's wild they are using a 3.X kernel

    To be fair if you could SLTS support by CIP (which is designed for things like this) you have 4.19 at least still maintained. 4.4 might still be too but I'd have to check
