I try to install Alpine on a "Wildcat Lake" system, the Acer Swift Air 
14 (SFA14-I31). Grub recognizes the keyboard, but the kernel fails to do 
so. The wireless card and maybe the trackpad are also affected (booted 
with a USB keyboard). I installed the -stable kernel and that fails, 
too.

Weirdly, the Kali live image recognizes everything all right, while 
running a months-old kernel.

In my understanding, the Linux kernel (both 6.18 and 7.x) is perfectly 
capable of using this hardware, only if the required parts would be 
compiled in it. Could you please be so kind and fix this? Helping is for 
the moment beyond me: I lack a Linux machine to compile the kernel 
myself from a modified APORT (the said notebook sadly runs Windows and 
my other one a BSD).

Thank you.
