That seems really odd, as last I checked, it was the same build image
for the kernel for both devices.  I know it's the same source tree, and
.config file.

Does one perhaps use a kernel module for some hardware and the Pixel 2
does not?  That would break the ability to use fastboot flash here.

Wonderful, thanks for this, I'll try to play around with it.
