Legit tech question, /g
I have a raspberry pi 3 and I have put kali linux on it. I want to use an adafruit pitft screen, but I read that that I have to download a kernel for it to work. I hooked up the raspberry pi (with the pitft screen on it) to a computer monitor and kali runs fine. I tried downloading a kernel and when I reboot, it gave me a rainbow death screen (for not enough power). I think the kernel I used (adafruit_pitft_kernel_1.20150420-1) is old. I don't know why else it wouldn't work on reboot.
Any tech gurus on here, I'd really appreciate some help.

Just use the regular OS for the PiTFT and install from source, the stuff you need.
On a side note, what are you using the screen for? Just use a laptop and ssh into it over wifi.

kali is for usb pen drives, thats why its called a pentesting distro

Thanks anon. Consider me somewhat unlearned, but shouldn't I 'wget' a kernel on there that allows the screen to work? It's just a white screen right now. Namely, I can see the kali standard background on my monitor and I'm aiming to be able to see it on the pitft. Everything I've read says I need to download a kernel and reboot. Is there a different way to go about this? Thank you for the time.
I'm using the screen directly attached to the pi so it's ultra portable because I just didn't want to buy a laptop. I probably should have, but this is where I'm at.
