Hi,
I'm running stretch on a Dell Inspiron 15 5575 and tried the kernel from the stretch backports but the system isn't able to boot. Should I create a bug report or can I fix it on my side?

Re: Backports kernel 4.17 not working
Thank you for the hint. I have removed virtualbox temporarily but I'm still not able to boot. The last line I see on the display is line 653:

Re: Backports kernel 4.17 not working
I'm not sure and too unexperienced to answer that question properly, but I would say no. I have installed firmware-linux-nonfree from the backports and I'm able to boot with the stretch kernel (4.9), but not with backports kernel (4.17). Therefore I think it isn't be related to the missing firmware.
Have a nice day!

I might try this one with the later kernel, the backports ver is pretty old.

Hopefully those new firmware packages will be added to stretch-backports shortly.
