Bit of a delay... the PC developed a fault.. It would not switch off.
Sorted, I think, it looks like the power switch/ribbon cable had a intermittent connection.
Anyway,
2.8 now allows me to boot, I do get vertical white bars after the BIOS splash,
Then after a second or so I get the Desktop,
opening/closing apps gives some sparkles, so I will now try a 4.X kernel.
Do have an issue with WiFi,
But I've seen issues with RTL devices before, so know where to start.
Will post back...
